The Earth ’ s gravitational field causes items near the Earth to have weight.

Typically, gravitational fields change only slightly over short distances, and the Earth ’ s field is nearly uniform at all locations on the Earth ’ s surface ; therefore, an object ’ s weight changes only slightly when it is moved from one location to another, and these small changes went unnoticed through much of history.
