Gravity is the cause of forces that attract every pair of masses toward each other. If one of the masses is the Earth and the other one is you, then you call the force your "weight".
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 !
"Weight" is the size of each of the equal forces with which two masses, such as the Earth and an elephant, or the Earth and a person, attract each other because of gravity.
Multiply the mass by the gravitational field constant. Mass in kg multiplied by g (9.8 on Earth) in m/s^2. Mass x 9.8 = Force/Weight in Newtons
That's because inertia does not depend on weight. An object's mass causes two effects: One is the gravitational interaction (force) with other masses. This is proportional to both masses (also, the force decreases with distance). The other is inertia - if an object has mass, then it requires an effort to change its velocity. Inertia depends on the mass - NOT on the weight. Weight also depends on the mass. However, weight also depends on the mass of other objects - for example, on Earth, our weight depends on the gravitational field of planet Earth.
Gravity is the cause of forces that attract every pair of masses toward each other. If one of the masses is the Earth and the other one is you, then you call the force your "weight".
The land masses of the Earth are the continents.
Jupiter is about 317.938 earth masses.
Mass is the amount of "stuff" in an object or a region of space. Weight is the gravitational force between two masses. When you're talking about weight, the earth is usually one of the masses. Your mass never changes, regardless of where you are. Your weight does change, depending on what the other mass is.
It masses increases and the weight increases
Yes. The gravitational force between two masses is equal in both directions. Among other cool ideas that you never hear discussed, this means that your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.
The strength of the equal, mutual forces of gravity between two masses depends on -- the masses of both objects, and -- the distance between their centers. (If the "pull" of Earth's gravity only depended on the Earth's mass, then everybody on Earth would have the same weight.)

The gravitational forces between any two masses are equal on each mass.Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Yes, because the force of gravity depends on the distance between the two masses. We feel a constant weight due to gravity at the surface of the Earth because we are always at the same distance, equal to the radius of the Earth (Historikeren 15-07-2015).
