What is the difference between Gravitation and Gravity?
The differences between Gravitation (G) and Gravity (g) are as follow:
| 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 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. | 4. 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. (G = 6.673×10-11Nm2/kg2) | 6. The value of g varies from one place to another on the Earth. |
