What is mass?
Would it be more difficult to pull an elephant or a mouse?
If you pulled each animal the same amount, the mouse would come towards you but the elephant would not move at all, even if he didn’t try to pull back. That’s because an elephant has more mass than a mouse.
Mass is the amount of stuff in an object. It is different from weight because weight depends on the amount of gravity. This means that even though our elephant weighs less on the moon, his mass stays the same.
