The measure of the heaviness of an object. It is the force that results from the action of gravity on matter. The term ‘weight’ is often used when strictly speaking ‘mass’ is meant. The distinction between mass and weight is unimportant for most practical purposes and we commonly use units of mass (kilogram, gram, tonne etc.) as units of weight. (See SI measurement units)
