weight

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It depends on the object's mass (how much matter it contains) and the strength of gravity where the object is located. For example, on Earth, an object with more mass weighs more because gravity pulls on it more strongly. Weight can change if gravity varies, like on the Moon, where gravity is weaker. In everyday life, weight is what we typically measure on a scale, reflecting the force gravity applies to our bodies or objects. It is different from mass, which remains constant regardless of location.
