The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force. In SI units this acceleration is measured in metres per second squared or equivalently in newtons per kilogram.

What is Acceleration due to Gravity?Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that is gained by an object due to the gravitational force. Its SI unit is ms². It has a magnitude as well as direction. Thus it is a vector quantity.We represent acceleration due to gravity by the symbol g. Its standard value on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 ms². Its computation formula is based on Newton’s Second Law of Motion and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation.
