Answer:
Differences between g and G:
Acceleration due to gravity (g) | Universal gravitational constant (G) |
1. Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration acquired by a body due to the earth's gravitational pull on it. | 1. Gravitational constant is numerically equal to the force of attraction between two masses of 1 kg that are separated by a distance of 1 m. |
2. g is a vector quantity | 2. G is a scalar quantity. |
3. It is different places on the surface of the earth. Its value also varies from one celestial body to another. | 3. The 'G' is a universal constant i.e., its value is the same (i.e.,) everywhere in the universe |
