It's the same as that of Earth but the value of g varies from one object to the other. The value of the gravitational constant or the BIG "G" remains constant. I think you confused it with the LITTLE "g" which is the gravitation of a object (one with mass) or the acceleration due to gravity. The value of g on Earth and Moon is 9.8m/s^2 and 1.6249m/s^2, respectively. I hope this answers you all.
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

(This should not be confused with g=9.8m/s/s)Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation describes the gravitational force between two objects (like the sun and the Earth or the Earth and a satellite or the Earth and its moon)gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10-11m3 kg-1 s-2 used in the formula, F = G (M1 * M2)R2where F is the gravitational force between two masses,G is the gravitational constant in N,m1 is the mass of the first object in kg,m2 is the mass of the second object in kg,R is distance apartIn some books, it is written as Cavendish experiment.
1.2 kg. Mass is constant regardless of gravitational pull (loction).
The answer depends on what "it" is and the overall context. The answer could be the centre of the earth where the earth's gravity has no effect, or the Lagrange point where the gravitational forces of the moon, earth and sun balance each other.

The gravitational pull of the moon, on the earth, is almost a constant - whatever its phase.
I think that g (the gravitational constant) varies dependent on your proximity to other massive bodies. For example the value of g on the moon is less than the value of g on earth. It is not constant throughout the universe.
No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.
Yes, the universal gravitational constant is believed to be the same across the whole of the universe.
The mutual gravitational forces between the Moon and the Earth are strongest when the distance between the two bodies is smallest. Just like the mutual gravitational forces between any other two bodies.
It is approximatly 3.42*10^8 M away from the centre of mass of the earth
Yes. All astronomical observations to date suggest that the gravitational constant is literally a universal constant ... the same everywhere in the universe.
The gravitational potential energy would be less for the same height above the surface. This is because the gravitational constant on the moon is less than that of the Earth. Potential energy is defined as mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height.

1/9th of its present value
