   No, it is _G_:   
      
     F = G M m/r^2 = m G M/r^2 = m g  ==>  g = G M/r^2.

   One finds (experimentally)   
      
     G =~ 6.674 * 10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2),   
      
   (the gravitational force is so weak that a better precision of measurement   
   could not be achieved yet), and for near the *terrestrial* *surface* one   
   calculates and measures   
      
     g_Terra = G M_Terra/(R_Terra)^2 =~ 9.82 m/s^2.   
      
     [For example, near the *lunar* *surface*:   
      g_Luna = G M_Luna/(R_Luna)^2 =~ 1.67 m/s^2 =~ (1/6) g_Terra.]   
      
   The two quantities not only have the same magnitude, they do not even have   
   the same dimensions -- of course they *cannot* have either because one is a   
   particular multiple of the other:   
      
   One multiplies the/Newton's gravitational constant G by the mass M of the   
   primary and divides by the radial distance squared to obtain the magnitude   
   of the gravitational acceleration g:   
      
     [g] = [G] [M]/[r]^2 = 1 m^3/(kg s^2) * kg/m^2 = 1 m/s^2.   
      
   That's already highschool-level knowledge, and the 'nym-shifting troll   
   fails at it :-D

   Confused, insane, pseudoscientific word salad -- as expected.
