Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (W=mg) Weight is a measure of the Gravitational force between the object and
the earth. The acceleration of gravity on Earth is less
Weight is
measured in units of
If one object has more mass than another then it weighs (
more / less ) than the other object.
As an astronaut goes to the moon, his mass

This is because as he got further away from the Earth,
