What does it mean when a vinyl record's pressed on "180 Gram Black Virgin Vinyl"?

Does it have to deal with sound quality, the scarcity (rarity) of the record, or does it have to do with something else? Thanks, your questions are always appreciated!

    normal vinyl records are made of 120 to 130 grams. they are pretty thin and tend to deform under heat (direct sunlight).

    vinyl records made of 180 grams are much thicker and feel heavy and they are much more stable even if heated up.

    it has absolutely nothing to do with sound quality, rarity or price (likely they cost a few bucks more).
