weigh less.

weigh the same as an object with less mass.

|
always have more volume than an object with less mass.

Detailed explanation-1: -Weight is the force of gravity on an object. Mass always stays the same, but weight can change depending on how much gravity is acting upon an object. Cool fact: Any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another, and the greater the mass, the greater the pull.
Detailed explanation-2: -We know that weight is equal to the product of mass and gravitational force applied. So, W = MG where w is the weight, M is the mass, and G the gravitational force. Hence, it can also be interpreted as ‘the weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass’.
Detailed explanation-3: -A greater mass means the object has a greater weight. But weight is a force and mass is not. And weight also depends on the value of the acceleration due to gravity.
