"Mass" is the amount of 'stuff' of which you're made. It's you, like the color of your eyes.

It isn't affected by things around you, it doesn't depend on where you are, and it doesn't

change when you move among different environments.

"Weight" is the gravitational force between you and other things around you. It depends on

your mass, and the other masses around you, such as the earth. If you leave the earth and

move to be close to some other mass, the gravitational force between you and a different mass

will be something different, so your "weight" will change.

If your mass is 63 kilograms, then you weigh 139 pounds on earth. (Where did 155 come from ??)

Take that same 63 kg to the moon, and it weighs 22.7 pounds there.
