interestingly, weight can be described as the measure of the force of gravity on an object.

gravity varies very slightly at different points on the earth, its generally always around 9.8m/s/s (metres per second per second or per second squared) meaning the object will weigh basically the same every on earth.

now, if gravity is discounted from an object what we are left with is how much of an object there is, which is a function of mass divided by volume. this is important in science when for example working out how much a pilot weighs when enduring high g-force. for fun a 200lbs pilot during a 5G turn (as in 5 times 1G which is just normal gravity conditions) weighs approx 1000lbs! (5x200)

physics is fun right? right?

Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?

The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
