You can easily remember this. Mass deals with one dimensional quantity Eg: all one dimensional objects. Weight deals with two dimensional quantities Eg:Square,Circle. Volume deals with three dimensional quantities Eg:Sphere. You can determine volume of a sphere alone but you cannot determine volume of a circle or a square.

Mass does not change, no matter where it is located. Weight changes with the gravitational pull of a planet. Volume is the space occupied by an object.

Mass and weight are connected, volume is not. Mass is weight, ignoring gravity, weight is mass multiplied by the force of gravity. Volume is the space something takes up.
