    Thread is light weight because thread shared the same memory address space and It takes less memory and less time to execute the program.

    Just because the threads share the common memory space. The memory allocated to the main thread will be shared by all other child threads.

    Whereas in case of Process, the child process are in need to allocate the separate memory space.
