      Heavy is a subjective term based on the force of gravity. You are heavier if we weigh you on the earth compared to if you are weighed on the moon.

      Your mass in those two examples is unchanged. The amount of mass you have is finite and not subjective like weight.

      The feather clearly has a more aerodynamic shape, thus, it wouldn’t fall as fast as a sphere with the same weight.
