Acceleration due to gravity $(g)$Universal gravitational constant $(G)$
$(i)$ It is the acceleration acquired by a body due to the earth's gravitational pull on it.$(i)$ It is numerically equal to the force of attraction between two masses of $1\, kg$ each separated by a distance of $1\, m$.
$(ii)$ The value of $g$ is different at different places on the surface of the earth and varies from one celestial body to another.$(ii)$ The value of $G$ is a universal constant,i.e.,its value is the same $(6.67 \times 10^{-11}\, Nm^2 kg^{-2})$ everywhere in the universe.
$(iii)$ It is a vector quantity.$(iii)$ It is a scalar quantity.
