Weight is the [[Mass|mass]] of an object multiplied by the gravitational force acting on the object meaning the weight changes depending on the gravitational field strength acting on the object. As for example, your weight on the moon will be only 16.5% of your weight on earth, because the moon has a much lower gravitional force compared to earth. the SI unit of weight is newton (n). | Weight is the [[Mass|mass]] of an object multiplied by the gravitational force acting on the object meaning the weight changes depending on the gravitational field strength acting on the object.
