While weight changes with changes in gravitational pull, mass does not. If you were on the Moon, you could still accurately measure the mass of an object by using a balance scale instead of a spring scale. The different pull of gravity would still balance the mass of the object with the mass of the measuring weights on the other side. Could you accurately measure the mass of an object in free fall, where its weight did not register at all? If so, how?
