You can use m=w/g where weight is in pounds and the acceleration of gravity 32.16 ft/sec squared on earth averaged. (gravity does change with location on earth). Mass is merely the way to equalize weights btween various planets or any other place that the force called weight is measured.
an object has mass in space but no weight
do u really think mass is used for different planets?
