Here's a breakdown:
* Gravity: A fundamental force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational attraction.
* Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in an object.
* Weight: The force exerted on an object due to gravity. It's a consequence of the object's mass and the gravitational field it's in.
Key points:
* Weight is a force, measured in units like Newtons (N).
* Mass is a property of an object, measured in units like kilograms (kg).
* While mass remains constant, weight can change depending on the gravitational field. For example, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has weaker gravity.
So, in essence, weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object.
