Like it or not, most elementary and middle school students learn the difference between mass and weight as the fact that mass does not change when we go to the moon, but weight does. That only works if weight is defined as the force of gravity acting on an object. If weight changes all the time depending on the viewer's frame
of reference, then all we have is confusion for the students.
