Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.

Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?
Specific Gravity.
When the specific gravity equal to density?
Specific gravity and density will have the same value when the two substances under investigation have identical densities. Density is an expression of the amount of mass per unit of volume that a substance exhibits. Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of a substance to the density of water.
What is the relative gravity on earth?
"Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such. So, you would have to specify, "specific gravity [or density] of what substance"."Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such.

What does it mean when salfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.8?
Specific gravity of sulfuric acid = 1.8 specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water (waters density in the denominator). So this means the density is 1.8 g/mL
What is another word for specific gravity?
Another word for specific gravity is density.
Is specific gravity the same as density?
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
What is the relationship between the density of a substance and its specific gravity?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to (divided by) the density of a reference substance, usually water.
Definition of specific gravity?
The English phrase 'specific gravity' means the ratio ofthe density of a substance to the density of water.
Define specific gravity?
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of a material and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure.
