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.

Weight and grams are not the same. Weight refers to the force exerted on an object due to gravity, while grams are a unit of measurement for mass. Grams specifically measure the mass of an object, not the force of gravity acting upon it.

Weight 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.
