REQUIRED ANSWER
When an object drops down towards the earth's surface from an altitude , it results in the change of velocity and this change in velocity induces acceleration in the object. This kind of acceleration is known as Acceleration due to gravity.
MORE INFORMATION :-
1) SI unit of acceleration due to gravity = m/s²
2) It is a vector quantity. ( Since , it has both magnitude and direction )
3) It is represented by the letter g.
4) Approximate value of g = 9.8 m/s²
5) Formula for obtaining g = GM/r²
