Gravitation is a pulling force of an object to another object. The gravitional force of object is determined by two things, the mass og the object and the distance between the object. The force of gravitation acting on an object is weight of the object. Weight is sometimes used to indicate the quantity of the force of gravitation between the earth ang an object on its surface. Weight is not equal to mass, but both are related. Mass is the suantity of matter in an object. The bigger the mass in an object, the stronger the gravitation force acting on the object. The bigger the mass of an object the bigger weight. Mass is measured in Kilogram and weight in Newton. 1 newton is an object having a mass of 1 kg on the earth has a weightb of 10N. Unlike weight, mass does not change because F changes in gravitation.
