Description

Gal (Galileo)

The Gal is a non-SI unit of acceleration used mainly in gravimetry, which is the measurement of the Earth's gravitational field. Named after Galileo Galilei, this unit is equal to 1 centimeter per second squared (1 Gal = 1 cm/s²).

It is commonly used in geophysics to express the acceleration due to gravity variations. Though not part of the SI, it remains essential in Earth sciences due to its specialized application.

Centimeter per Second Squared (cm/s²)

Centimeter per second squared is a CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of acceleration. It is often used in scientific calculations and educational materials where smaller scales are involved, such as in biology or materials science.

1 cm/s² is equivalent to 0.01 m/s². Its use is niche but essential in areas demanding fine precision.
