G in Earth Units


Bill Phil

Recommended Posts

Seconds is a universal unit. It's used across metric and imperial.

Could use one sidereal day, a year, or seconds.

EDIT:

I think a bigger problem is acceleration. Earth Radii per second per second?

Can't really use the second, it's an arbitrary partition of these proposed "Earth Units", rather than an observable property of said planet. Sidereal Day it is, then.

(6.6734E-11 m^3/(kg s^2)) * (5.972E24 kg/M_earth)*(86164.905 s/day_s)^2 / (6.371E6 m/r_earth)^3 = 11440 r_earth^3/(m_earth s_day^2)

Values used were pulled from the response box in Google Search, result is presented to four significant figures.
