That is a great question.  You really had me thinking for a minute till I realized how dumb I was.  Carry on the good work

1.0 Pound = .453592 Kilograms ... if you mean mass\n1.0 Slug = 32.174049 Pounds ... again for mass\n1.0 Pound = 4.4482 Newtons ... if you mean weight\n1.0 Newton = .101972 Kilograms force ... force or weight

Gold is much heavier than fools gold.

The largest largemouth bass caught weighed 22 pounds, 4 ounces in Georgia in 1932. This is one of the oldest and most revered records in all of game fishing.

water 8000 pounds \nair not even 1\nhelium (-1)\nlead - really heavy\n\nhope that helps - im guessing you ment water - salt water weights a bit more

1 inch ~ 2.54 cm\n1 ft ~ 30.48 cm\n\ntechnically, a pound (lb) and grams/kilograms do not measure the same thing. a pound is a measure of weight (a force) while a gram is a measure of mass.  At sea level on earth, where gravity is about 9.81 m/s^2, a mass of 1 kg would approximately have 2.2 lb of weight.  But for basic science classes, this is assumed to be interchangeable

To answer the question asked:  It depends on neither.\n\nWeight is a factor of the amount of mass in a gravity field.  \n\nOn earth, the gravity field is uniform enough for weight to be a good measure of mass.  But take your 5 pound rock to the moon and it would weigh much less even though it still has the same mass.  It weighs less because the pull of gravity on the moon is less.  As the pull is what gives the rock its acceleration when dropped, it is only the pull that determines how fast something drops. \n\nThe last mission to the moon did the classical experiment of dropping a hammer and a feather at the same time.  Since there is no air on the moon they both dropped at the same rate.  But it was a rate that was much slower had the hammer been dropped on earth.\n\nSo it isn't the mass, nor an objects weight, but how strong the gravity field the object is in when it is dropped.\n\nThat means on earth all things fall at the same rate.  We see a difference when we drop a feather and a hammer on earth because of the friction of the air places greater drag on the feather than on the hammer.\n\nBut they are both pulled down at the same rate by the gravity of the earth.

The word "heavier" implies the weight of the object....a force.  Weight is the force acting on a mass due to gravity.\n\nEither you have changed the wording of the statement so much so that it has changed the meaning or that is one poorly written "phisiks buk" [physics book].  If you are indeed quoting out of the book, throw that peice of trash out the window now.\n\nWhat you are probably refering to is the Earth's density versus the density of a neutron.\n\nThe density of a Neutron star (which is made up of only neutrons) is about 3 E14 g/cm^3.\nThe Earth has an average density of about 5520 kg/m^3, or about 5.52 g/cm^3.  You can see the drastic difference in densities.\n\nIf you said you had a "test tube full of bare neutrons" and that test tube has a volume of...50 mL, it would have a mass of 1.5 E13 kg.  The Earth has a mass of about 5.97 E24 kg.  Clearly the Earth is more massive, and thus under the same gravitational field, "heavier".

The word “pound” comes from the Latin word pendere, meaning “to weigh”. The Latin word libra means “scales, balances" and it also describes a Roman unit of mass similar to a pound. This is the origin of the abbreviation “lb” for the pound. The “s” at the end of “lbs” simply denotes the plural form.

They are the same weight. But lead has a higher density then butter.
