To calculate the weight of something you must multiply it's mass by the strength of the gravitational pull it experiences.

So on earth this pull g, is 9.81ms-2 so

1kg weighs 1 x 9.81 = 9.81N

N stands for newtons which is a unit of force as weight is a force.

In science a kilogram is a unit of mass. Weight is what we perceive when we try to lift that mass - it is the force of gravity pulling the kilogram mass to the Earth. It gets a bit confusing when you are at Earth's surface because a the kilogram mass has a numerically kilogram of force (usually referred to as weight) attracting it downwards.
