According to the current understanding of gravity, the force of attraction between any two objects, anywhere in the universe depends on the gravitational constant. It is therefore, considered a universal constant.
G is called The universal gravitational constant because at any point of the universe the value of G is constant. G=6.67*10^-11 N m^2/kg^2...!!!!1
It is the inverse of the displacement of the point of application in the direction of of the force.
It is the measure of the gravitational force experienced between any two bodies, anywhere in the universe. So, the same number is used to calculate the gravitational attraction between bodies anywhere in the universe. There are, however, some questions as to whether is is (or was) a constant over time.
The Universal Economic Constants are Production, Investment, Savings and Consumption.
