"Newton" is a unit of force, whereas "kilogram" is a unit of mass.

To find the weight of any mass, multiply the mass by the local

acceleration of gravity.

-- On Earth, 600 kilograms of mass weigh 5,884.2 newtons. (rounded)

-- On the moon, the same 600 kilograms weigh 973.8 newtons. (rounded)

-- On Mars, the same 600 kilograms weigh 2,226.6 newtons. (rounded)

-- In other places, the same mass has different weight.

-- If it's inside a space vehicle coasting from one place to another, it has

no weight at all.
