What is the difference between mass and weight? (1 point)

Mass measures the force of gravity. Weight measures matter.
Mass measures the force of gravity. Weight measures matter.

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

Mass depends on location. Weight depends on the force of gravity.
Mass depends on location. Weight depends on the force of gravity.

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

The correct statement 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. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted by gravity on that mass and can vary depending on the gravitational field strength (e.g., it is different on Earth compared to the Moon).
