The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in it. It represents in a quantitative way that property of matter that is described qualitatively as inertia. While an object on the Moon would have about one-sixth of the weight that it would have on Earth, its mass would be unchanged. The common SI units of mass are the kilogram (kg), milligram (mg), gram (g) and tonne.
