Glossary term: 重量
Description: 地球产生一种被称为万有引力的力，它将所有物体拉向地球中心。在地球表面或其附近，我们会感受到这种力将我们和其他一切物体向下拉。对于任何物体，这种向下拉力的强度被称为该物体的重量。在任何星球上，物体的重量与其质量成正比，在日常生活中，有时我们会交替使用重量和质量这两个词。当我们使用浴室的秤时，它测量的是压在上面的力。如果我们静静地站在秤上，没有推拉另一个物体，这个力就是我们的体重，但秤给出的结果是我们的质量值，单位是公斤、磅或其他质量单位。但是，如果我们站在月球或其他星球的表面上，我们的质量仍然是一样的，但是我们的重量就不一样了，所以把这两个词区分开是很重要的！
