What does one g represent in terms of acceleration?

One g is the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity, defined precisely as 9.80665 m/s².

Why convert meter per square second to acceleration of gravity?

Converting to g units helps express acceleration relative to Earth's gravity, simplifying interpretation in aerospace, safety, and equipment design contexts.

Is the conversion constant accurate everywhere on Earth?

The conversion uses a fixed standard gravity value and does not account for local gravitational variations.
