Every time you jump, you experience gravity. It pulls you back down to the ground. Without gravity, you'd float off into the atmosphere -- along with all of the other matter on Earth.
You see gravity at work any time you drop a book, step on a scale or toss a ball up into the air. It's such a constant presence in our lives, we seldom marvel at the mystery of it -- but even with several well-received theories out there attempting to explain why a book falls to the ground (and at the same rate as a pebble or a couch, at that), they're still just theories. The mystery of gravity's pull is pretty much intact.
Gravity.
weight. . . . .
force
The pull of gravity on any given object is of course the objects weight. The acceleration an object undergoes while falling due to gravity's pull is approximately 9.8 m/s/s. (meters per second per second)
the more mass the object has the stronger the gravity will pull down on the object making it heavier

mass of the object pulling
Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.
Weight is the measure of the pull of gravity. Weight is the mass of an object and can be measured by using a scale.
