Ans- False

Explanation

Gravitation (G)Gravity (g)
1. Gravitation is the force of attraction acting between any two bodies of the universe.1. Gravity is the earth's gravitational pull on the body, lying on near the surface of the earth.
2. It requires two masses. 2. It requires only one mass. 
3. It is a weak force.3. It is a strong force.
4. G is the Universal Gravitational Constant.5. g is the acceleration due to gravity.

5. The force, $F=G\frac{M1\times M2}{{R}^{2}}$ (G = gravitational constant).

5. The force, $F=m\times g$ (g = acceleration due to gravity).

6. The value of G remains constant everywhere.

6. The value of g varies from one place to another on the Earth.
