- It is vector quantity.
- It is a measure of the force of attraction of the earth on the body.
- It's value varies from place to place.
- It is zero at places where g=0.
- It is measured by spring balance.

mass - it's a measure of the intrinsic inertia of a body i.e. its reluctance to change its state of motion
ReplyDeleteweight - a measure of the magnitude of gravitational attraction exerted on a body of a given mass by another mass (may or may not be the earth) .
