The unit that is used for weight is called the Newton. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and in the International System of Units (SI), it is measured in Newtons. The full name of the unit is "Newton" rather than an abbreviation. Weight is calculated as the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity, with the formula Weight=Mass×Gravity\text{Weight}=\text{Mass}\times \text{Gravity}Weight=Mass×Gravity. Thus, weight is a force, and the Newton is the SI unit of force.
