• Mass is measured in kilograms (kg), not Newtons (N) which is a unit of force.
• Gravity is the force that attracts objects toward each other, not mass.
• Mass is a fundamental property of an object and is constant (not variable) unless matter is added or removed.
• By definition, mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
