The value that is the same for the two rocks is the time it takes for the rocks to fall.

In the absence of significant air resistance, both rocks will fall at the same rate due to gravity, regardless of their mass or weight. Therefore, they will hit the ground simultaneously if dropped from the same height at the same time.
