The more mass an object has, the more gravity acts on it. Mass actually is known to affect weight because they both depend on each other.
===============================
HONK! Beulah the Buzzer has an objection to raise. Mass does not depend on weight.
"Weight" is the name we give to the gravitational force acting on a mass.

How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
What property of matter does gravity act upon?
Mass is the property of matter on which gravity act upon.
Mass or weight.Which is dependent upon gravity?
weight
How does increasing the mass of an object affect the distance the object travels?
In zero gravity, the mass of an object does not effect the distance an object travels at all unless there is a constent force acting upon it. However, if it is in contact with another object, and gravity is what keeps the 2 or more objects touching each other, then mass will effect the distance it travels because of friction.
What is the definition for weight in science?
the measure of the amount of gravity upon an object
Is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
Is a measure of the effect has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
What is the measure gravity has upon mass?
9.8 meter per second squared
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?

What property of matter does gravity act upon?
Mass is the property of matter on which gravity act upon.
What do scientists measure in grams?
Mass. Weight is measured in Newtons. Weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. The actual SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). A gram is just a subdivision of a kilogram.
What happens to weight and mass as you move away from earth's gravitational field?
weight is derived from gravity's effect upon mass. so your weight would decrease, however your mass would stay the same.
Mass or weight.Which is dependent upon gravity?
weight
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
How does increasing the mass of an object affect the distance the object travels?

How much gravity an object exerts is dependent upon its?
Mass.
What determines your weight on a planet?
Both it's mass and the force of gravity acting on it
