About these units

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.

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.
