Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
No, acceleration due to gravity g is not a universal gravitational constant. The value of g depends on the Mass and the planet's radius. Because every planet has a different mass and different size or different radius, that's why gravitational acceleration is different for different places. The weight of an object changes from place to place because the value of g is not constant everywhere. The value of g on the moon is about 16 th of its value on the earth.
The correct statement would be, acceleration due to gravity is not a gravitational constant.
