No proper data can be used to determine a falsehood, and since mass and weight are NOT the same thing there can be no such data.

Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?
No. The weight is the mass times the acceleration. W=ma. The weight can be zero if the acceleration is zero, even if the mass is positive. Mass and weight are not the same thing.
What two things determine weight?
Mass and gravity.
How do you determine a person's mass?
You weigh an object to determine its mass. Weight is directly proportional to mass, and in fact most balances are calibrated in mass units such as kilograms.
What is the same thing as weight?
Mass.
Is Mass the same thing as weight.?
No it is not.
What factor causes the difference between weight mass?
If you multiply an object's mass by the acceleration of gravity, g, you can determine its weight. If you know an object's weight and divide by g, you can determine its mass. g = 9.8 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2 (on Earth)
Does gravity have the same effect on weight as it does on mass?
weight and mass are the same thing essentially. weight is a measurement of mass. so technically the answer to your question is yes
Do mass and weight mean the same thing?
No
How do you determine your mass?
It is carried out by physical balance and the weight by spring balance.
Would a star have more mass or weight?
Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.
What are the relations between mass and weight?
The relations between mass and weight are that mass shows how much an object contains. This is about the same thing as weight - how much an object contains.
What force does gravity determine?
It gives weight to a mass. My mass presses down with a force of 82 kilograms.
