When constructing a force diagram on an object one of the first vectors you should draw is the weight vector. Its always there (because everything has weight) and it always points toward the earth. Weight is the force that the earth attracts on objects due to gravity. So gravity is not really a force and is not part of a force diagram. It is simply an explanation of where the weight force comes from.
-- 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.

Yes, a weight is a force - the force with which the Earth's gravitation attracts an object.
The lack of gravity makes everything lighter in space. On earth, we are under the force of gravity.

Yes. Weight is the force enacted upon a mass in a particular direction. In the case of the earth, gravity pulls everything towards its center.

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
force of gravity
weight = mass *gravitational force.
Gravity.
AS WE KNOW, that there is the force of gravity at the center of Earth, if every part or portion of earth has its weight then net weight of the earth will be zero........
Yes, a weight is a force - the force with which the Earth's gravitation attracts an object.
They are equal. The weight and the earth both attract each other,with a force of about 9.8 newtons (2.2 pounds).Everything about the gravitational force between two masses is mutual.Both of them participate in determining the strength of the force, andthey experience the result equally.The strength of the force depends on the product of the two masses, and thedistance between the two masses. Then the force acts equally on both of them.Is that cool or what !
