Real World Context
980.665 galileo is approximately:
- close to free-fall acceleration near Earth's surface, before air resistance
- if held steadily, reaches 100 km/h from rest in about 2.83 seconds
Unit Story
Standard gravity
Standard gravity is exactly 9.80665 meters per second squared. It is a reference value; local gravity varies slightly with latitude and elevation.
Galileo
The galileo, usually called the gal, honors Galileo Galilei. Earth scientists use it and the smaller milligal for gravitational measurements.
