Defining weight as the gravitational force on an object gives the
impression that when you are "weightless" (a very common term, at
least superficially understood by most people),
that there is no
gravity acting on you, and of course that is not true,
Far better, IMO, to define weight as what the bathroom scale reads
when you step on it, regardless of where you are or what
circumstances you find yourself in
