That is, 1 N = dyne.
Explanation:
Weight is a vector quantity.
Its direction is downwards towards the centre of earth.
Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity.
or, W = m x g i.e., W = mg
The weight of a body is the force with which the earth attracts. In other words, weight of a body is the force of gravity on it.
It is measured by a spring balance which is calibrated to read in Newton.
It is not constant for a body, but varies from place to place due to change in the value of g.
