Mass
Mass is the amount of matter there is in an object
It is measured in kilograms which is often shortened to Kg (this should give you a clue for your starter task)
5
Weight
Weight is a force.
The unit of weight is the newton, N.
Weight occurs due to gravity.
6
What is gravity?
Gravity pulls everything towards the centre of a mass
Gravity is measured in N/Kg

8
Larger planets will have a larger gravitational field strength.

Multiple Choice
12
Mass will stay the same no matter what planet you are on.
However, as weight is dependent on gravity it will change depending on what planet you are on.
