The Earth's gravity pulling on an object (i.e. its weight) is a force measured in Newtons.

A Newton is the force that will increase the speed of a 1 kg mass by 1 m/s each second. It is the dynamical unit of force, so called because it can be put into Newton's 2nd law, force = mass times acceleration, without any extra constants.

A 1 kg mass dropped out of a window increases its speed by 9.81 m/s each second, so the weight of a 1 kg mass is the mass times the acceleration, 9.81 Newtons.

The weight of an object is proportional to its mass.

Does. mass measurement includes the effect of the earths gravitational pull on the object being measured?

Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.

Why isn't weight not considered a constant measurement of the amount of matter and object contains?

Weight is not considered a constant measurement of the amount of matter in an object because weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object, which can vary based on location. The amount of matter in an object is determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of location or gravitational pull.

What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?

When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.
