Standard gravity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Standard gravity , usually denoted by g 0 or g n , is the nominal acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface at sea level. It is measured to be about 9.80665 m/s 2 (approx. 32.174...

Taking an average over the whole surface of the Earth, physicists have arrived at a standard value for g of 9.80665 m/s2 (32.1740 ft/s2). On other planets and moons the values of the acceleration due to gravity may be very different, resulting in different weights for the same object on these various worlds.
