Weight is affected by gravity. An objects weight is based on its mass and the gravitational field that is pulling on it. The more mass something has, the more gravity pulls on it. I guess you could say they are proportional.
Weight is the amount your mass and the mass of the nearest very large object (in almost all cases, the planet Earth) attract. The force of attraction is called gravity. All objects exert it, but only the Earth (and, for that matter, the Earth's moon) have ever had their gravity directly "felt" by humans.
Your weight changes depending on which planet you are stood on, whilst your mass doesn't (you don't shrink on the Moon just because there is less gravity). Gravity is the same force everywhere, but the amount you "feel" it depends on the size of the planet you are stood on, so it could be said to vary according to the observer's position.
However, this is all a very long way around saying that weight and gravity are not at all the same thing, other than the fact that they two only exist when combined with each other (making them not the same thing, but certainly interdependent). An object has weight if and only if it is in a gravitational field. If you could put Mt Everest into the void of inter-galactic space, it would have absolutely no weight at all. But it would have the same mass as it does anywhere (not counting relativistic effects). This may be what the questioner is driving at with the words "in one way". It's a good connection for the questioner to have made. However, you can have a gravitational field even if there is nothing in it to weigh.
When constructing a force diagram on an object one of the first vectors you should draw is the weight vector. Its always there (because everything has weight) and it always points toward the earth. Weight is the force that the earth attracts on objects due to gravity. So gravity is not really a force and is not part of a force diagram. It is simply an explanation of where the weight force comes from.
Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The greater an object's mass, the stronger the force of gravity pulling on it, resulting in a higher weight. Weight is directly proportional to the mass of an object under the influence of gravity.
Your weight stays the same when you stand on one foot on the scale. The scale measures the force you exert on it due to gravity, so your weight will remain constant regardless of how you distribute your weight on the scale.
Mass and weight are similar because they are directly proportional to one another. Mass is the measure of matter within an object, and weight is the force with which gravity pulls down on that mass. If the mass is great, the force pulling on it is great.
They aren't the same thing, but they can give you the same information. Specific gravity is a substance's mass density divided by the mass density of water. Specific gravity is a sort of normalized mass density. Materials with S.G. higher than one will sink in water. S.G. lower than one will float.

Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.

Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
One gram of mineral oil has a weight of one gram, as weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The weight would remain the same regardless of the substance.

There isn't one. Anything that has mass has gravity, and anything with gravity will produce a "weight".

Weight and gravity are not the same. Weight is calculated using F = M * A aka (Weight = Mass * 9.8) Gravity's force is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1*m2)/d^2 F -Force G-6.67*10^-11 (search for Universal Gravitation Constant to find the units of this constant) m1- mass of object 1 m2-mass of object 2 d- distance between centers of each mass.
The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.

The weight of an object remains the same before and after an interaction, since weight is a force resulting from gravity acting on the mass of the object. The weight is the same whether the object is in one piece or separated into parts.
