On a normal piano, if you press a key very hard it will make a loud sound. If you press the same key very softly it will make a quieter sound, but it will still be the same note.

Every piano is different, so pressing softly on a key on one piano might end up being loud if you press with the same force on a different piano.

So some people call that the “weight” of the keys.
