Just an FYI, if you're measuring "weight", that certainly does have
something to do with gravity.
 What we call weight is the reaction our mass has in relation to
gravity.  For instance, if one=20
 weighed say 100 pounds on earth, that same person would only weigh
about 11 pounds on the moon=20
 because the moons gravity is about 1/9th that of the earth.

 Jim
