'Weight' is the force by which the gravity fulls you towards the center of the earth(or planet). So, its SI unit is Newton(SI unit of force)
'Mass' is the physical property of a body which resists the change of its state.Its SI unit is Kg.

that i understood but when we are checking the weight of any object why we use kg rather than newton
because Newton is the force which the object produces
ok ok thank you
thank you
weight is measured in kg
When we use kilograms to measure weight, we are actually referring to kilogram-force.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force
From Wikipedia: One kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s2 gravitational field.
In other words, the weight(force) of one kg is equal to one kgf, or 9.8N..AND I DON'T THINK YOU WANNA BUY 5 Newton OF RICE INSTEAD OF 5 Kg
