A staff in music is the way that notes are organized. It is a set of 5 lines running horizontally with 4 spaces between them. It looks kinda like this:

_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

Notes are placed either on the lines or in the spaces, and that is how music is written down. For more info, you might want to look at:

Is gravity the weight of an object based on the weight and force?

No! You can not define weight in terms of weight. When you define anything in terms of itself, you do not have a definition, you have a tautology. Such is not science but scientism. It is a fraud. One definition could be the attractive force two masses exert when they attract each other.
