Since it has everything to do with lineweight, a 2 weight is twice as heavy as a 1 weight, a 5 weight is only 20% heavier than a 4 weight rod.
I use my 1 weight rod a lot even my Sage 0 weight comes into action sometimes, especially on very small streams with spooky fish.
Short casts, upstream fishing, lovely, already look forward to my next trip to a British chalkstream...
