Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, which depends on the object's mass and the gravitational acceleration of the body exerting the force, such as Earth. The formula for weight is ( W = m \times g ), where ( W ) is weight, ( m ) is mass, and ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth). While weight changes based on the strength of the gravitational field (e.g., on different planets), mass remains constant regardless of location. Thus, gravity is the force that causes weight, making them closely related but distinct concepts.

What compare the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water?
Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water! :D
Calculate your weight using the acceleration due to gravity g on earth Compare your weight on earth and your weight the moon?
Weight can be calculated using the formula W=mg, where m is mass and g is gravity. Your weight on Moon is 16.5% of what you experience on Earth.
Is mass directly propertional to weight?
Yes. Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so if you keep gravity constant (for example, measure different masses on planet Earth), weight is indeed proportional to mass. But if you compare measures with different gravity, you see that weight not only depends on the mass.
How does the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity exerted by Jupiter on the Sun?
The gravitational forces between any two masses are equal on each mass.Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.
Could the mass of a lighter object be more than that of a heavier object?
No, unless you compare objects on different planets. Weight = mass x gravity, so if gravity remains constant, more mass means more weight.
What is gravity's relationship to weight?
Gravity is the cause of weight. Increased gravity creates increased weight, decreased gravity decreases weight.
How does Jupiter's force of gravity compare to earth's?
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefore the weight of any object ... onJupiter's 'surface' is 25.885 m/s2 ... 2.64 times its value on Earth's surface.
How can you calculat the specific gravity of air?
You could measure the weight of a recipient with air, and compare it to one without air (with a vacuum instead).
How are gravity and weight related?
weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
How does gravity on mars compare gravity on earth?

How is gravity and weight?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
