What is the value of 'g' on Moon? Why is it defferent from that of Earth?
The average equatorial surface gravity on Earth is 0.99732 g

On the moon it is 0.1654 g

The numerical constant G that is used in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is a constant no matter where you are. (6.67 X 10-11). Moon exerts a gravitational acceleration about 1/6th as strong as that of the earth.
