In terms of units, "weight" times "gravity" gives you watts per second.
"Weight" has units of Newtons. "Gravity" is in terms of m/s^2,
so multiplying the two gives units of N m/s^2. 1 N m = 1 Joule.
1 Joule / s = 1 watt. So what it comes down to is that rate at which the power consumption changes with respect to time....watts per second.


However, I doubt that is what your looking for. What is entirely more likely in this case is that you made a mistake when asking the question.
"Weight" is the gravitational force which gravity exerts on a mass.
weight = mass * gravity
This is probably what you were getting at.

I thought mass times gravity equals the weight. Any mass under different gravitational pull will have different weight. I can jump higher on the moon than I can on Earth because there is less gravitational pull and I would weigh less.

mass times gravity is weight. weight is a force. force = mass * acceleration. gravity is actually an acceleration hence the units of m/sec^2

Nothing interesting. However, mass times gravity would give the gravitational force.

mass times gravity equals weight
so weight times gravity equals mass times gravity squared
