Weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity, often measured in units like pounds or kilograms, and is distinct from mass as it changes with gravitational strength. In everyday use, it describes how heavy something feels or a person's body mass for health purposes, while in scientific and engineering fields, it's essential for calculating loads, balances, and structural integrity. This concept bridges the physical world and practical applications, from diet tracking to space travel.
