Answer 1

The correct response is:

Mass is the same everywhere. Weight depends on the force of gravity.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, which can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational field (i.e., it differs between locations like Earth and the Moon).
