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 remains constant regardless of location, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, which can vary depending on the gravitational field strength in a given location.
