Although normally a very force , it becomes when we are near a large object , such as a planet like the Earth , a moon , or a star like the Sun . Gravity is also the that keeps the and satellites in orbit around , and all the of the solar system in orbit around the . is the amount of in an object . Mass is normally measured in ( kg ) , but sometimes is measured in ( g ) for smaller things , or ( t ) for very large objects . Mass is sometimes confused with . They are , however , things . Weight is the name scientists give to the of gravity . Weight is a force and depends on : ? the of an object ? the of whichever planet we happen to be standing on ( normally Earth ) . Like all other forces , weight is measured in ( N ) . A force of about newtons is needed to lift a kg mass on Earth . Gravity gets as we get away from our planet . This is because gravity on too . This may seem since gravity and our weight don ? t seem to get any if we climb a mountain .
