Solution

The universal gravitational constant (G) is a constant of proportionality equal to the force of attraction between two masses of 1 unit each, and are separated by a unit distance.
Its value is the same for any object in the universe.
Its value is 6.673 x 10^-11 Nm² kg^-2 .
Its value holds the same even on the surface of the moon.
