   Gravity acts like acceleration and has a value with units of acceleration.   
      
   Why this is the case, that is actually unknown.   
      
   But gravitational acceleration is by no means only a constant of value ten.   
      
   This is so, because a number ten has no units, while gravitation   
   has units of m/s².
