*Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration of a freely falling body.
*Free falling means to drop vertically with no air resistance and an acceleration that doesn't change, or that is constant.
*The symbol for acceleration due to gravity is the letter g.
*The acceleration due to gravity, g is directed towards the center of whatever object gravity is draw towards, for example Earth, or any other planet.
*An equation can be used to find the gravitational acceleration in different places. This equation is :- g=G X M÷r^2
:. The acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s2. This is approximately 1/6 that of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, 9.81 m/s2. Lunar Gravity Field.
