Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.

How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
Does gravity affect weight?
Yes it affects weight, but not mass.
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
What kinds of motion does gravity affect?
weight
How does weight affect gravity?
Weight is the force generated by mass when it is in a gravitational field. When a body is outside of a gravitational field, it is weightless but it still has mass.So gravity doesn't exactly affect weight; gravity causes mass to have weight.
Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?
yes it does
What is the affect of weight on distance paper rockets travel?
it is the gravity affects the weight
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
How does gravity affect the speed and weight of a car?
Arrow dynamics
How does zero gravity affect someone in space?
with no gravity in space you essentially can fly around. you weight a 1/3 of your normal weight on the moon.
How does gravity affect the weight of matter?
It's a very direct relationship; weight is caused by gravity. weight = mass x gravity Therefor, if gravity goes up and mass stays constant weight, goes up. And the reverse is true if gravity goes down and mass stays constant, weight goes down.
