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 pull.
* Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It's a measure of how strongly an object is attracted to the Earth (or another celestial body).
Key Points:
* Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, while weight is a force caused by gravity.
* Weight can change. For example, an object's weight would be different on the Moon than on Earth because the gravitational pull is weaker on the Moon.
* Weight is measured in units of force, typically Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs).
