Because that's exactly what 'weight' is ... It's the force of attraction between
you and the Earth, or whatever planet you happen to be on at the moment.
And the origin of that force is gravity.
Weight is the force generated by mass when it is in a gravitational field. When a body is outside of a gravitational field, it is weightless but it still has mass.So gravity doesn't exactly affect weight; gravity causes mass to have weight.
Friction and acceleration due to gravity do not directly affect the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which is independent of these factors. However, friction can affect the apparent weight of an object on a surface by opposing the force of gravity.
The measure of the gravitational force on an object is its weight, typically expressed in units such as Newtons or pounds-force. The weight of an object is dependent on both the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational field it is subject to.
The gravitational force exerted on an object is called weight. It is the force exerted by gravity on the object's mass.
Weight obviously
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
how is weight affected by gravitational force?
Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
Friction and acceleration due to gravity do not directly affect the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which is independent of these factors. However, friction can affect the apparent weight of an object on a surface by opposing the force of gravity.
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.
Your weight.
The measure of the gravitational force on an object is its weight, typically expressed in units such as Newtons or pounds-force. The weight of an object is dependent on both the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational field it is subject to.
The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.
