The WEIGHT is the measure of the force of gravity on an object (including people).weight = mass x gravitational field
The gravitational field near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
Weight is the force generated by gravity pulling an object towards the center of the Earth. An object's weight depends on its mass and the strength of the gravitational force acting upon it. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity.
Nothing. A mass represents the totall inertia of a certain object, which is dependant on the amount of matter and energy that constitutes such object. Gravity has nothing to do with mass. However, weight is dependant on gravity. weight is a force, force= mass x acceleration. When we talk about weight, the gravitational force affecting a certain object, we mean mass x gravitational acceleration (g) so weight = mass x g.
The center of gravity is the point where the weight of an object is concentrated, while the center of mass is the point where the mass of an object is concentrated. The two points are usually at the same location for uniform objects. In terms of stability and balance, the lower the center of gravity or center of mass of an object, the more stable it is. This is because a lower center of gravity or center of mass makes it harder for the object to tip over.
No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.
The center of mass is the point where an object's mass is evenly distributed in all directions, while the center of gravity is the point where the force of gravity acts on an object. The center of mass and center of gravity are typically at the same location for objects on Earth. In terms of stability and balance, an object is stable when its center of mass is located directly above its base of support. If the center of mass is outside the base of support, the object may tip over. The center of gravity affects an object's stability because it determines how the object responds to external forces like gravity or a push.
Classically, gravity is proportional to mass (stationary gravitational mass).
Gravity is a force
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.

Its where galileo galilei did his gravity experiments, to see if object with different mass fall with the same speed.

The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
gravity and how mass is effected by it
Gravity is a force but has no mass.
You're on to it! Gravity appears to be a property of mass. No mass - no gravity. But exactly what gravity is we don't yet know.
