Weight is a measurement of the force of gravity acting on the object, whereas mass is a measure of the amount of substance an object contains. This indicates that, while the object is still intact, just the weight will vary as the acceleration caused by gravity varies.



Because the mass is independent of the acceleration caused by gravity, the astronaut's mass on the moon is still 100 kg.
