The force of gravity between a planet and a person or object on
its surface is called the person or object's weight on that planet.

The planet's weight on the person or object is exactly the same number,
because gravity always acts as an equal pair of forces ... one in each direction.

The force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet is known as weight.  


• There is confusion between weight and mass.  

• The measure of the amount of matter in an object is termed mass. While the measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object is termed as weight.  

• Weight refers to the force of gravity on an object or person at the surface of a planet.  

• With the change in the strength of the gravitational force, a variation is witnessed in one's weight, while mass does not change.  


Thus, the correct answer is option C, that is, weight.
