Clearly distinguish between mass, weight, and volume

What will be an ideal response?


Mass has to do with the quantity of matter in a body. The more matter, or the more the number of its atoms, the more mass. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is the gravitational force on the matter in a body. Weight is measured in newtons. In the same locality, mass and weight are directly proportional. That is, twice the mass has twice the weight. Volume is a measure of a body's sizeā€”its physical dimensions. Volume is measured in such units as cubic meters.
