Weight can be defined as

• A measure of the amount of matter in an object

• A push or a pull that causes objects to move, change position or experience tension or compression.

• The amount of matter in a given space. (mass/volume)

• A measure of the force of gravity on an object

• A push or a pull that causes objects to move, change position or experience tension or compression.

• The amount of space an object takes up

• A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses and distance to each other.
