Weight explained to kids

Weight is a force that is created by the gravitational pull of an object. The weight of an object is affected by the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the more gravity it has. The more gravity an object has, the more weight it has. The weight of an object can be measured with a scale. The scale measures the force that the object exerts on the scale. The scale then converts that force into a measurement of weight. The most common unit of measurement for weight is the Newton. One Newton is the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. The weight of an object can also be affected by the object's location. The closer an object is to the center of the Earth, the less gravity it has. This means that the object has less weight. The further an object is from the center of the Earth, the more gravity it has. This means that the object has more weight. Weight is different from mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force that the object exerts on the scale. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
