Describe the relationship between gravity and weight

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Weight is defined as the mass of an object times the acceleration of gravity, thus the relationship is: weight = mass x gravity.
?
Gravity has an effect on the weight of objects, including air. In fact, weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity.
