The unit of mass in the SI system is the kilogram... which is a bit awkward. Large masses are expressed in tonnes/metric tons, which are equivalent to 1000 kilograms, or in scientific notation. Theoretically gigagrams (= tonnes), teragrams, petagrams, exagrams, etc. could be used but in practice this isn't all that common.

Do objects with large masses have large weights?

Yes, objects with large masses tend to have large weights due to the force of gravity acting on them. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass.


What would have the greatest gravitational attraction between the two masses?

The gravitational attraction between two masses depends on their masses and the distance between them. If the masses are large and close together, they would have the greatest gravitational attraction.


Are you saying inertia is a source of gravity?

Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia. The basic unit, however, is the mass.Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia.

Is the force of gravity greater between two objects that have greater masses?

Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.


Mass is measured by this unit?

The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.Other units include pounds, tonnes, metric tonnes, atomic mass units, eV/c2, Earth masses, Solar masses. The latter two are often used for comparisons in astronomy.

Do large masses always have large weight?

No. Think of the space shuttle. On the ground it is very heavy, and has substantial mass. In orbit it has no weight, but the mass stays the same.
