What is the name if the force the causes everything on Earth to have weight?
Gravity is the force that causes everything on Earth to have weight. It is a fundamental force of nature that attracts objects with mass towards each other.
Does gravity cause weight?
No. Fat causes weight.. Gravity is simply used to measure it.answ2. Mass is a property of matter. Mass times acceleration equals weight.Gravity is indeed a property of matter, but doesn't really enter the simple picture of weight.
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
Why weight always acts downwards?
Weight always acts downwards because it is a force resulting from gravity pulling objects towards the center of the Earth. This gravitational force causes objects to have weight, and the direction of this force is towards the Earth's center.
What does gravity have to do with weight?
weight is equal to mass times by gravity ie W=mg this means that gravitational field strength, multiplied by the amount of matter that something is made up of (ie, 50kg, 10g, etc) is it's weight. so, you would weigh less on the moon, because the gravitational field strength is less, though your mass would be the same.... represent an example of cause and effect.
The force of gravity on you from the earth?
The gravitational forces between me and the Earth can be called "my weight on Earth" or "Earth's weight on me". They're equal, and the label doesn't matter.
What does the pull of Earth's gravity give to all matter on Earth?
The pull of Earth's gravity gives all matter on Earth weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. This weight is the reason why objects fall towards the Earth and why all matter on Earth experiences a downward force.
Does earths gravity give weight to matter?
Yes. Earth's*

What can you measure matter and mass with?
For "matter", it would depend what aspect of matter you want to measure.Mass is often measured via its weight; under normal Earth gravity, the weight is proportional to the mass.
What is the pull that all matter exerts on other matter?
Gravity
Would you have less matter on the earth or the moon?
You always have the same amount of matter, regardless of where you go.But, the weight of matter is less on the moon than it is on Earth.Just remember, weight and mass are two different things.
How do mass and weight relate?
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.
What is reason mass and weight are the same everywhere on earth?
The question isn't quite right. Wherever you go on earth, there is mass. Weight changes, however. I think it helps to know the fundamentals to understand this. Mass causes gravity, and gravity causes weight. If you were at the center of the earth, the gravity from the mass would pull you equally in all directions, and you would be weightless. Weight is the measurable effect of mass.

How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.
