In simple terms, a balances measure mass, while scales measure weight. So if you bring a balance and a scale to the moon, the balance will accurately give you the mass of, say, a moon rock, whereas the scale will be affected by the gravity. A balance determines mass by balancing an unknown mass against a known mass.
