The 24 pages that link to Gravitational constant, each with the reason it gives.

• MassRelated: It determines how gravitational mass translates into force.

• Newton's law of universal gravitationRelated: It fixes the scale of force in the law's inverse-square equation.

• Gravitational potentialRelated: It sets the scale of the potential generated by a given mass.

• Gravitational accelerationRelated: Its value sets the strength of acceleration produced by a given mass.

• Gravitational fieldRelated: It sets the proportionality between mass and the field each mass produces.

• Paul DiracRelated: Dirac speculated that its value might decrease as the universe ages.

• Natural unitsRelated: Setting G=1 introduces gravitational natural units and leads toward Planck units.

• Schwarzschild radiusRelated: It makes the radius increase in direct proportion to mass.

• Planck scaleRelated: Its value helps determine the length, time, and energy scales of quantum gravity.

• Planck unitsRelated: Its value helps define the characteristic length and mass scales.

• Gravitational parameterRelated: Multiplying G by a body's mass gives its gravitational parameter.

• Henry CavendishRelated: Cavendish’s experiment later became a way to determine this constant.

• Earth's massRelated: Mass inferred from gravity depends on the measured value of G.

• Solar massRelated: Its uncertainty affects the conversion between solar mass and kilograms.

• Torsion balanceRelated: Torsion-balance experiments provide a laboratory method to measure it.

• Coherent system of unitsRelated: Some unit conventions assign it a non-unit numerical value, illustrating convention-dependent constants.

• Constant (mathematics)Related: It sets the strength of gravitational attraction in that law.

• Schiehallion experimentRelated: The Schiehallion result helped motivate later efforts to determine gravity’s strength quantitatively.

• Astronomical system of unitsRelated: The current system’s defining units determine how this constant is expressed.

• Gauss's law for gravityRelated: It scales the flux associated with each unit of enclosed mass.

• Geometrized unit systemRelated: Setting it to one brings mass into the same unit system as length.
