Here's why:
* Gravity: Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull.
* Weight: Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It's a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on an object.
Example:
Imagine an apple sitting on a table. The Earth's gravity pulls on the apple, causing it to have weight. The weight of the apple is the force of gravity acting on it.
Important Note: Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on that mass.
