	Mass is a measure of the ‘amount of stuff’.<br />Mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).<br />Weight is the measure of the ‘pull of gravity’. Weight is a force measured in Newtons (N).<br />A mass of 1kg has a weight of about 10N.<br />On the earth, the pull of gravity is about 10N.<br />On the moon, the pull of gravity is about 1/6 of that on earth.<br />If your mass is 30kg on the earth it is also 30kg on the moon.<br />Your weight on the earth will be 300N but on the moon it will only be 50N.
