The formula: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
On Earth, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 9.8 N/kg.
On the Moon, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 1.6 N/kg.
On the Sun, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 274.1 N/kg.
Weight is measured with a set of scales or a balance, whether electronic or analogue. The weight of an object is different to its mass. The weight is in relation to the gravitational pull so alters at different places in the universe (and earth slightly) so things weigh less on the moon but they have the same mass. Mass is measured in grams etc whereas weight should be measured in Newtons.
the weight of an object is mass times gravity
Multiply its mass (m) by the acceleration due to gravity (g) to find the weight (Fg). On Earth, g is usually about 9.81 m/s2.
Fg = m * 9.81 m/s2
you can try to use a rule to do it. just put your rule there then put your finger at the end of the rule then now start from your finger there but you have to add the number that you did
The amount of gravitational pull applied to the object. An object weighs more on Earth than the moon because the moon has less gravity. Less gravity= less weight.
An object is weighed based on the mass of the object in relation to the gravitational force excerted on the object.
no thats mass weight is actually a force from the Earth's gravitational pull
-- Weight is the force that attracts objects toward each other. When wetalk about 'weight', one of the objects is usually the Earth.-- 'Gravity' is the characteristic of all mass in the universe that causes the forces.Gravity is the force whereas weight is the measurement of how much the force gravity affects something.
No weight is a measurement of how much force something experiences due to gravity.
A human being is not a measurement. You can measure a human's height, mass, weight, albedo, loudness when he shouts, or whatever, and each of these can be expressed as a measurement, but the human being itself is not a measurement. In general, you have to distinguish an object from its properties.
Yes. Weight does.
On Earth there is gravity pulling objects down and adding weight. On the moon there is no gravity so objects are weightless.
weight
The measurement will be in terms of force or weight just as the measurement of the force holding a person to the earth is given by their weight.
I assume you mean "between Earth and other objects". That is called the WEIGHT of the objects.
Weight is a measurement on the continuous scale, and in measured in Newtons of pound-weights. It is a variable measure, which depends on the gravitational forces exerted by all other objects in the vicinity. [Theoretically, it is ALL other objects in the universe but since the effect drops off very rapidly, only nearby objects are relevant].
The objects weight is a measure of that force.

The abbreviation for stone as a weight measurement is st.
standard of weight and measurement
A digital balance can be used to measure the weight of different foods and spices. It can also be used to weigh letters.
Which term describes how much space a substance occupies? volume Not sure how that question relates to the one initially asked, but the answer to 'How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?' is weight includes the force of gravity. Weight Includes The Force Of Gravity (A+)Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity in relation to mass, while mass is the measurement of matter in an object.
No, it's a measurement of weight.
This question is poorly worded.
