What does the weighing scale we use in our homes actually measures? As weight should be in Newton and it measures in Kilograms so does it measures our mass ? Why we say that our weight is x Kilograms when we should say the weight is x Newtons , it is too confusing for me .

On Earth, there is little difference between saying your weight vs your mass, because the force of gravity is pretty well constant across the surface. So while the scale is directly measuring weight, it’s as trivial as dividing by 9.8 to give you mass in kilograms.
