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.
Because of the VOLUME and DENSITY of your body its like a a brick or a feather if you drop each one of a building which one do you think is going to hit the ground first
Weight IS the gravitational force.
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.
Weight is the gravitational force, weight =mg.
The two things that affect the gravitational force is Mass and Distance.
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
Weight is (acceleration due to gravity) x mass Gravitational force= GM1M2/r2
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.
does the moon's gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
Weight is the gravitational force, weight =mg.
The two things that affect the gravitational force is Mass and Distance.
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
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.
