Depends...
Weight is highly dependent on the gravitational pull of the object you are trying to weigh it on...
Weight = Mass of Object X the gravitational pull of the item you are measuring it on

The mass of the Earth is 5.97 x 10^24 kg. It is not meaningful to talk of the "weight" of the Earth, because weight is the force of gravity acting on mass, but you can't measure the pull of gravity of an object on itself.
