Weight
In the
physical sciences, weight is a
measurement of the gravitational
force acting on an object. Near the surface of the
Earth, the
acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight is roughly proportional to its
mass. The words "weight" and "mass" are therefore often used interchangeably, even though they do not describe the same concept. Weight is the force with which a body is attracted toward the earth or a celestial body by gravitation and which is equal to the product of the mass and the local gravitational acceleration
