Answer:
Earth attracts every object towards it. We know that force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. The force by which earth attracts an object towards it is called the weight of the object, which is the product of mass (m) of the object and acceleration due to gravity (g). Weight is denoted by 'W'.
