The gravitational constant G in CGS and other units

G is measured, not defined, so every value below carries the same relative uncertainty as the SI value: about 22 parts per million. Only the leading digits are meaningful.

G = 6.674 30(15) × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2 about this constant →

How it is computed: 6.674 30 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻² × (100 cm/m)³ ÷ (1000 g/kg) = 6.6743 × 10−8.
