(N/A) Following are the three differences:
$(i)$ The value of $g$ is $9.8 \, m/s^2$ on the surface of the Earth,whereas the value of $G$ is $6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, N \cdot m^2/kg^2$.
$(ii)$ The value of $g$ varies from place to place,whereas the value of $G$ remains constant throughout the universe.
$(iii)$ $g$ is a vector quantity,while $G$ is a scalar quantity.
