Let's be careful here. There's no such thing as the "amount of gravity".
Gravity is the name we give to a characteristic of nature that causes a
force of attraction between every two specks of matter. So you could
ask "What measures the force of gravity between an object and a planet ?"
If that were your question, then I would begin an answer by saying that a
bathroom scale is a perfectly good thing to use to measure that force.
Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.
Mass is the amount of matter in the object. Weight measurement of force that gravity is exerting on the object.
Gravity has to do with the amount of mass an object has; not an atmosphere. The bigger the object, the stronger the gravitational pull. That's why people feel lighter on the moon than they do on Earth.
The gravitational forces of attraction between you and a meteor are exactly the same as the gravitational forces of ttraction between you and any other object that has the same amount of mass as the meteor has, and is the same distance from you.
Mass does since it is the amount of matter in an object and it is the same everywhere. Weight is the amount of gravity force on the object, so it changes on a different planet.
a scaleA scale is used to measure the force of gravity on an object. A balance is used to measure mass.
Mass measures how much matter there is in an object, but weight measures how much gravity acts upon it. You have the same amount of matter in both places, but you weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity.
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
mass of object *force of gravity
Mass measures the amount of matter in an object or material.
This measurement is called volume.
scale
the mass of an object measures the amount of matter in a object.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.
It is due to the amount of mass the object has.
The force is the Newton unit in SI. For gravity the force is the weight of the object in Newtons
