Qualitative descriptions focus on the characteristics of an object or phenomenon that can be observed and categorized based on qualities rather than quantities. Characteristics such as color, texture, and form all pertain to observable traits that do not rely on measurement. They help paint a vivid picture of an item in terms of its appearance and feel.

Weight, however, is a quantitative measurement. It involves numerical values that require a scale for accurate determination and is expressed in units (like grams or pounds). Therefore, it represents a characteristic that can be measured rather than simply observed, making it distinct from qualitative attributes.
