Gravity is proportional to the product of the masses, and inversely proportional
to the square of the distance. The gravity constant is simply the proportionality
constant.
If you're calculating with all SI units, then the universal gravitational constant is
6.67 x 10-11newton-meter2/kilogram2
The equation is F = GmM/r2 whereF is the force of gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, m and M are the two masses, and r is the distance between the masses.
Gravity produces a constant acceleration because it is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance squared. This means that as an object falls towards the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth.
The universal gravitational constant, which appears in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, can be used to calculate the gravitational attraction between any two masses, anywhere in the universe, not just here on Earth. Whereas the acceleration of gravity, g, is the specific acceleration caused by the planet Earth, at its surface where we live.
If gravity is the only force acting on an object, then the object will experience a constant acceleration determined by its mass and the strength of the gravitational field. This acceleration is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
No, the force of gravity is not constant. It can vary depending on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
According to the current understanding of gravity, the force of attraction between any two objects, anywhere in the universe depends on the gravitational constant. It is therefore, considered a universal constant.
Gravitational because it is related to gravity; universal because it is expected to apply everywhere; constant because it is expected to be the same everywhere.
-- Acceleration of gravity on the moon =(universal gravitational constant) x (moon's mass)/(moon's radius)2-- Gravitational force on any object sitting on the moon's surface =(Acceleration of gravity on the moon) x (mass of the object)-- Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 newton-meter2/kilogram2
Why g is called the universal gravitational constant.Answer:Because it's the constant in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.It's "gravitational" because it is related to gravity; "universal ... constant" because it is the same in all cases."Universal" because it applied to the whole of the Universe.Another answer. But, g isn't called the universal gravitational constant.g is the acceleration due to gravity on our planet only.= 9.81 m s-2The universal gravitational constant is G (often called big G ) = 6.673 x 1011 m3 kg-1 s-2.It appears in Newton's equation f= Gm1m2 / d2 .

It depends upon density and radius. g=GM\[R]^2 G is the Universal Gravitatinal Constant
of course. that's why it's called the universal gas constant.
No
Sir. Isaac Newton discovered the formula with the universal gravitational constant.
There are several different universal constants: Avogadro's number, Gas constant, Gravitational constant. The question needs to be more specific.
