Here's why:
* Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It's calculated using the formula: Weight (W) = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g)
* Acceleration due to gravity (g) varies depending on location (altitude, proximity to large masses).
* Therefore, if 'g' changes, the weight of an object will also change, even though its mass remains constant.
Example:
* An object on Earth has a certain weight due to Earth's gravity.
* If that object is taken to the Moon, where gravity is weaker, its weight will decrease even though its mass remains the same.
