Earths gravitational constant, known as g, as around 9.81 m s-1 .

The word around is a tip-off that it is a somewhat inconstant constant. It varies slightly depending on your latitude, longitude, height a.s.l. and the type and extent of the minerals under your feet. This last explains why some geologists carry a handy instrument called a gravimeter.
