This is often rounded to 10 m/s² for simplicity in calculations.
It's important to note that this value is an average. The actual acceleration due to gravity can vary slightly depending on factors like:
* Latitude: Gravity is slightly weaker at the equator and stronger at the poles.
* Altitude: Gravity decreases with altitude.
* Local geology: Variations in the density of the Earth's crust can also affect gravity.
