The force due to gravity is called weight. What is weight?

compare mass and weight on different planets

Gravity is an attraction between objects of mass. What is the difference between weight and gravity?

The weight of an object will increase if the mass of the object is increased. How is the weight of an object increased?

The weight of an object will increase if the gravitational pull on the object is increased. How is the weight of an object increased?

The gravitational pull is measured as gravitational field strength. What is gravitational pull also measured as?

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength (g). What is the calculation for weight?

gravity produces a non-contact force What sort of force is produced by gravity?

gravity forces between Earth and Moon, and between Earth and sun (qualitative only)
