Answer:
The difference between the gravitational constant (G) and acceleration gravity (g) are tabulated below.
Gravitational constant (G) |
Acceleration gravity (g) |
The Universal gravitational constant is defined as the force of attraction between two objects with unit mass separated by a unit distance at any part of this universe. |
Acceleration gravity is defined as the acceleration experienced by a body under free fall due to the gravitational force of the massive body. |
Universal gravitational constant is a constant value at any place in the universe. |
The nature of the acceleration due to gravity varies from place to place. |
The value of G = 6.673 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2 |
The value of acceleration due to gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s2 and moon is equal to 1.6 m/s2. |
The unit of G is Nm2/kg2 |
The unit of g is m/s2 |
