→About Weight
: The [[weight]] of an [[object]] is due to [[gravity]].
The [[magnitude]] of the [[weight]] depends on:
:*The [[mass]] of the [[object]] - The more [[mass]]ive the [[object]] the greater the [[force]] of [[weight]].:*The [[Gravitational Field Strength|gravitational field strength]] - The greater the [[Gravitational Field Strength|gravitational field strength]] the greater the [[force]] of [[weight]].
: [[Weight]] always acts towards the centre of [[mass]] of a [[moon]], [[planet]] or [[star]].
: The [[weight]] of an [[object]] acts from its [[Centre of Mass|centre of mass]] (or [[Centre of Gravity|centre of gravity]]) of an [[object]].
