Weight is a force - the force with which gravity attracts an object. Therefore, being a force, it is measured in unites of force, usually Newtons.

Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
No. Kilogram is a unit of mass only. Weight is measured in units of force; the SI unit for force is the Newton.
If you know the force of gravity then mass = weight/gravitational force. If you don't then you cannot. Knowing the volume is useless.
Its weight depends on the force of gravity acting on the mass. In outer space, for example, its weight will be 0.
