Weight is how heavy or light something is.

Objects have weight because of the gravity of the Earth.

Weight depends on the amount of mass an object has.

Golf Ball	Beach Ball	Bowling Ball

The Golf Ball is not made of much material so it is lightest.	The Beach Ball might be the biggest but it is not the heaviest.	The Bowling Ball is made of the most material, so it is the heaviest.

Weight always acts downwards.

Different planets have a different strength gravitational field, so the same object might weigh a different amount on different planets.
