"mass

6. Abbr. m Physics. A property of matter equal to the measure of an object's resistance to changes in either the speed or direction of its motion. The mass of an object is not dependent on gravity and therefore is different from but proportional to its weight."

I would have the same mass if I was on the moon, as I do on earth. I would have a different weight though.
