    Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, while weight is a force caused by gravity acting on an object's mass, measured in Newtons. Gravity is different on Mars than Earth because Mars has less mass than Earth, so its gravitational pull is weaker. An object's weight depends on its mass and the gravitational field it is in. The Moon stays in orbit around Earth because of the balance between Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon and the Moon's inertia carrying it in a straight line.
