Measure of the force of gravity on an object

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to carry a heavy suitcase up a flight of stairs. Just as the suitcase feels heavier when you're lifting it against gravity, the concept of weight is a measure of how much gravity is pulling on an object. The struggle you feel lifting the suitcase is akin to how weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object; the heavier the suitcase, the more gravitational force you feel, just as weight increases with gravitational pull.
