Gravity is the force that gives an object weight. Weight is merely a measure of the amount of force gravity exerts upon an object. Weight is not the same as mass, although these two terms are frequently used interchangably. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains. Weight is the gravitational force that acts upon that mass. To get weight from mass, you must multiply the mass by the gravitational constant, on earth, this is 9.8 meters per second squared, or 32 feet per second squared, depending on which measurement system you use. Hope this helps!

Do stars lose mass while they give off energy?

Yes! The energy they give off have an equivalent mass, and this mass is lost to the star. This follows from (a) the equivalence between mass and energy, and (b) conservation of mass. As an example, our Sun, which gives off tremendous amounts of light, loses 4 million tonnes a second, just through the light that leaves the Sun - that is, apart from any solar wind.
