Gravitational "constant"[edit]

Hi. The term "gravitational constant" refers to two closely related by conceptually different things:

  1. The gravitational coupling as a physical quantity, which has to be measured
  2. A particular value for 1), which has been measured (for our universe)

To not get into the situation where a single item is both a subclass and an instance of physical quantity (Q107715) I boldly created a new item for meaning 1): gravitational constant (Q78337869). Toni 001 (talk) 15:10, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
