-- 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.
Wherever the objects happen to be, the one with the greatest mass attracts any nearby mass, such as the Earth, with the greatest force, and it is attracted to the other mass, such as the Earth, with equal force.

Gravitation.
Gravity, electrostatic force, and magnetic force all behave that way.
The force of gravity attracts every pair of objects that have mass toward each other.

If you mean the weight of the entire planet Earth, the question is, "weight on what". Gravitation is always a force between two objects. For example, if you have a mass of 60 kg., then you weigh about 600 Newton. This is the force with which Earth attracts you. By Newton's Third Law, you will attract planet Earth with the same force: 600 Newton. So, in this example, the "weight of Earth" (against you) is 600 Newton. The force with which Earth attracts, and is attracted by, other objects, will vary, depending on the mass of the other object, and the distance.If you mean the weight of the entire planet Earth, the question is, "weight on what".

-- The gravitational force is always a two-way thing. It acts between two objects, on the line between their centers. The force on each object attracts it toward the other one, and the forces on both objects are always equal. -- The strength of the force depends on ===> the product of the masses of the two objects. Bigger product = more force. ===> the distance between their centers. Bigger distance = less force.
All objects in the universe with mass are attracted to each other by gravity, which is the large scale organizer of the universe itself.

Wherever the objects happen to be, the one with the greatest mass attracts any nearby mass, such as the Earth, with the greatest force, and it is attracted to the other mass, such as the Earth, with equal force.
The force that attracts other objects toward the Earth is called Earth's gravitational pull. The average strength of Earth's gravity, known as standard gravity, is 9.80665 m/s2
Gravity is a force that attracts all objects to all other objects. The force is proportional to a quantity called the object's mass (if there is more mass, the attraction is greater), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (that is, at greater distances the force is weaker).
