FORCE
Weight is gravitational force.
This is the downward force exerted by gravity on an average adult human.
A little perspective
70 kilogram-forces is approximately equal to the weight of a 70 kg person.
Weight: 686.5 N; definition.
Weight is gravitational force. An object keeps its mass while its weight changes with local gravity.
Weight: 686.5 N; example.
A 70 kg person at standard Earth gravity. This is force in newtons, not a different mass.
