It depends on where the body was weighed.
If on the surface of the earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2,
the mass would be weight/g = 980 N / 9.8 ms-2 = 100 kilograms
If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.
Weight is the force with which gravity attracts an object. It can be calculated as weight = mass x gravity; for example, a person with a mass of 100 kg., on Earth (gravity = 9.8 meter per second square), weighs 980 Newton.
The formula is:weight = mass x gravity.On Earth, "gravity" is about 9.8 meters/second2, equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram. That means that each kilogram has a weight of 9.8 newton. On other planets, the "gravity" part will be different. For example, on Mars, the gravity is about 3.7 newton/kilogram. Thus, a man with a mass of 100 kilogram (that's well above the average, but simplifies calculations...) would weigh about 980 newton on Earth, and about 370 newton on Mars.
980 N
"One newton" is a weight, equal to exactly one newton of force.To put it into units that may mean more to you, the force of one newtonis the same as the force of about 3.6 ounces. (rounded)1 newton is a force, equal to about 0.225 pound (3.6 ounces) of force.1 pound of force = about 4.448 newtons of force.On Earth, 1 newton is the weight of 102 grams of mass.
On earth, 100 kg of mass weighs 980 newtons (220.46 pounds).

The masses involved are insignificant. You need a much larger mass for the force to be noticeable (without special equipment).In SI units, the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67 x 10-11 m3kg-1s-2. That means that a man with a mass of 100 kg., and a bowl of soup with a mass of 1 kg., at a distance of 1 meter, will attract each other with a force of 6.67 x 10-9 Newton, which can also be written as 0.00000000667 Newton. For comparison, the bowl of soup weighs 9.8 Newton, and the man weighs 980 NewtonThe masses involved are insignificant.

Curb weight, 3528 lb (1600 kg)
To do this you use Newton's 2nd law which is F=ma or force in newtons (N) = mass in kilograms (kg) * acceleration in m/s2 The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 on earth so he has a weight of 980 N.
Mass is measured in kilograms, kg and weight is measured in Newtons, N. Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object. F = ma (Newton's Second Law) This can be written as W = mg when calculating weight. W is the force of gravity m is the mass in kg g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s2 Example: What is the weight (gravitational force) of a 100 kg man? W = mg = 100 x 9.8 = 980 N Mass and weight are two different measurements in science but we generally use them to mean the same when not in the science lab.
If your mass is 100kg on earth your weight on earth is 980 N on earth. The moons gravity is roughly 1.6 m/s^2 thus your weight will be 160 N I weigh 32pounds 4.3ounces on the moon, when I step out of my space-suit.
