Need to know how heavy an object is? Weight and mass measurement calculators have different standard measuring units to weigh an object and convert the result into other units. Weight is usually defined as the unit to measure how heavy an object is. Whereas the mass of an object is the amount of material, it contains.

It is the gravity that pulls an object, and the measure of how much is it pulling is known as weight. The less the gravity, the lighter the object feels and the more the gravity the heavier the object. However, the mass remains the same.
