Weight and gravity are not the same.
Weight is calculated using F = M * A aka (Weight = Mass * 9.8)
Gravity's force is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1*m2)/d^2
F -Force
G-6.67*10^-11 (search for Universal Gravitation Constant to find the units of this constant)
m1- mass of object 1
m2-mass of object 2
d- distance between centers of each mass.

∙ 14y agoWeight refers to the amount of force gravity is pulling on an object. Grams are a metric unit for mass. One is a property of matter, one is a unit. They are not in the same category. To answer the question, are weight and mass related? Yes they are. Are they the same, no they are not. Again weight is the amount of force gravity is pulling on an object -- weight changes as the force of gravity changes. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object. It does not change when gravity changes.

They are both the same units of measure (a kilogram is 1000 grams - 'kilo' means 1000) but a letter will only weigh a few grams. Also letters are usually charged by their 'weight' not 'mass'. On Earth weight and mass are equivalent but they are not the same thing!. To measure mass you need to use a mass balance but to measure weight you just need some weighing scales.
