>Mass is not the same thing as weight.
>Your mass is the amount of matter in your body. It does not change based on whether you're on Earth or the moon. It can never be zero.
>Your weight is how gravity acts upon your mass. It can be zero. It changes with the strength of the gravitational field you're in.
Cool! Well, everyone knows how we measure weight. You just stand on a scale. How do you measure mass?
