The mass of the Earth can be determined by the gravitational force it exerts on any object. This works, once the gravitational constant is known. The gravitational constant can be measured with a Cavendish balance.
The force of gravity is both everywhere around and inside Earth.
Attraction to the Earth is caused by the force of gravity.
The lines of force are on the northern and southern poles
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
The objects weight is a measure of that force.
The objects weight is a measure of that force.
you measure it in feet
a scaleA scale is used to measure the force of gravity on an object. A balance is used to measure mass.
A newton is a measure of force not of mass.

Yes, a weight is a force - the force with which the Earth's gravitation attracts an object.
Weight is the measure of the force with which the Earth's gravity is pulling an object to its center. Since it is a measure of force, it is often expressed in Newtons.
The force of gravity that attracts an object on Earth toward the Earth is the object's weight on Earth. The force of gravity that attracts the Earth toward an object on it is the Earth's weight on the object. Both forces are always there, and they're equal.
The Earth and you are attracted to the centers of each other by a pair of equal gravitational forces. The size of the force attracting you toward the center of the Earth is your "weight" on Earth. The size of the force attracting the Earth toward the center of you is the Earth's "weight" on you. They are equal.
