If the object is on or near the Earth's surface, then most people call that force the

object's "weight".

Nobody ever gives any attention to the gravitational force that the object exerts

on the Earth, probably because it happens to be exactly the same as the object's

weight on the Earth. The neat thing about it, however, is that the same force is

also the Earth's weight on the object.

The mutual force with which every two masses attract each other due to gravity is referred to as the "weight" of the objects. It is usually expressed as the attraction of smaller objects to larger ones.

You can:

Use a scale to measure the weight of an object.

Use a pendulum to measure the force of gravity exerted by a planet.

The force of gravity, like any other force, is measured in Newtons. Gravitational acceleration is measured in either gravities (g's) equal to 9.8 m/s2 or in gals (Gal) equal to 1 cm/s2.
