of course the force of gravity is measured in weight=
MASS * ACCELERATION. DUE TO GRAVITY.
Its units are newtons

It would be weight, and found by weight = mass x gravitational field strength, which is 9.8 on Earth.
Actually according to Newton, any 2 objects with mass will exert a force of attraction on each other, where in the case of ur question, we are comparing the 'object' and Earth, and this force is given a name gravity. Just for your info, to calculate this force, you can use the formula:F = GMm/r^2
where G is the gravitational constant, M and m the masses of different objects in topic, and r, the radius of the Earth in ur case.

Gravitational force varies depending upon the mass of the objects being drawn toward one another - the greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity
Gravity is the weakest known force
The rate of acceleration of a falling object (object being drawn by Earth's gravity) is 9.81m/sec2

The measure is weight and is given in Newtons.
On earth, gravity is equal to 9.8m/s^2 so the weight of an object with mass 1 kg is
m * a = F
1kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 9.8 Newton

Use a pendulum with a mirror surface; reflect a laser off the mirror onto a ruler on a distant wall; move a second object near the pendulum and see if the light on the ruler moves. The pendulum should hang from two wires, so it will not turn laterally. Be advised that the pendulum must hang from a very stable support; there must be no vibrations or wind; there must be no other objects changing position where they can affect the experiment.

With a high degree of approximation, gravity is constant. Therefore, the force of any mass (in kg) can be determined from F = m x a where a = 9.8 m/s2.
Example: If my mass is 150 kg, my weight in Newtons is 1470 Newtons = 9.8 m/s2 x 150 kg.

measure of force of gravity = m * g
where, m is the mass of the object and g is acceleration due to gravity. g is given the value 9.8 m/s2.
