About these units
Galileo (Gal)
- Definition
- A galileo (Gal) is a CGS acceleration unit equal to one centimeter per second squared.
- History
- Named after Galileo Galilei, it is used in geodesy and gravimetry.
- Current use
- Galileos (and milligals) measure tiny variations in Earth’s gravity.
Standard Gravity (g)
- Definition
- Standard gravity (g) is the nominal acceleration of free fall at Earth’s surface, defined as 9.80665 m/s².
- History
- It was standardised so weights and forces could be defined consistently.
- Current use
- It expresses g-forces in aviation, vehicle dynamics, and spaceflight.
