Mass is a scalar quantity which has a same magnitude where ever we check it on earth, whereas weight varies with altitude and references and is dependent upon gravity.

Mass is a fixed quantity. It remains the same anywhere on earth or moon. But weight is the force with which earth attracts everybody. Weight depends on the position of body on the surface or earth. Numerically weight is acceleration times mass of  a body. Moreover mass is measured by LEVER BALANCE while weight is measured by SPRING BALANCE.
