Just to be pedantic, "weight" is a force which is directed towards the centre of the earth. Maybe you meant "mass" which is a scalar quantity and has no direction.
Fun fact: Under the FPS (foot, pound,second) system of scientific measurements, pound is a unit of weight. You can get the mass (in "slugs") of an object by dividing its weight by the gravitational acceleration constant (about 32 ft per second squared). Under the MKS (meter, kilogram, second) system of scientific measurement, kilogram is a unit of mass. You can get the weight (int "Newtons") of an object by multiplying its mass by the gravitational acceleration constant (about 9.8 meters per second squared).
This is why we talk about the "weight" of a person in pounds but when we use kilograms, we are technically talking about their "mass".
