What do we call the gravitational force between the earth and an object?

The gravitational force between the Earth and an object is typically referred to as the “weight” of the object.

Weight is the force exerted by the gravitational pull of the Earth on an object with mass. It is given by the formula:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to Gravity

Mathematically, weight (W) can be calculated as the product of an object’s mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g):

W = m x g

The weight of an object on Earth is essentially the gravitational force acting on that object due to the Earth’s gravity. It gives us an understanding of how heavy or massive an object appears when subjected to the pull of gravity on Earth’s surface.
