Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water. Density is defined as mass / volume. It is not directly related to weight. Although many people tend to confuse "weight" with "mass", they are really different things.

What is the relative gravity on earth?
"Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such. So, you would have to specify, "specific gravity [or density] of what substance"."Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such.

What is the definition of weight in relation to physics?
"Weight" refers to the force of gravity acting on an object.
Specific weight of liquids?
alcohol specific gravity
What is the unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65?
The unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 is 1.8 g/cc.
What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?
API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
What is the differnce between density and specific gravity?
density is like weight and gravity is what pulls you to the ground density is what determines weight
What compares weight of mineral with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What compares weight of minerals with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What is the weight of light weight concrete?
Depends on the specific gravity of the individual compnents and the specific mix design. Weight can very greatly.
The ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4c is its?
Specific gravity.
