"Weight" = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

= (0.25 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

= 2.45 newtons (about 8.8 ounces of force).

-- The Earth pulls on the object with 2.45 newtons of force.
(The object weighs 2.45 newtons on Earth.)

-- The object pulls on the Earth with 2.45 newtons of force.
(The Earth weighs 2.45 newtons on the object.)
