Differentiate between and .
The difference between and is,
Acceleration due to gravity | Universal Gravitational Constant |
---|---|
1.The acceleration that a body acquires due to the gravitational force of attraction is called acceleration due to gravity. | 1.The gravitational force between two bodies of unit mass separated by a unit distance is called the universal gravitational constant |
2. The value of is not a universal constant. Its value is different for different planets as the mass of planets differs. Its value decreases both with the height and depth from the surface of the Earth. | 2. The value of is a universal constant. It remains same everywhere. |
3 The value of is near the surface of the earth. | 3.The value of everywhere in the universe. |
4. At the center of the earth, | 4. At every point on the earth, it's value remains constant. |
