The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.

∙ 11y agoAlthough many think the unit of weight in the SI system is the gram or kilogram, it is actually the newton (The amount of net force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.) At the surface of the Earth a 1 kilogram mass has a weight of about 9.8 newtons, This varies at various places on the Earth due to its shape.
