quick question about formula
F= G(m1 x m2/ r2)
In the above expression is G the same for all planets, or is this value only for earth?

G is the universal gravitational constant. It is the same for everything, everywhere.

I think it's universal. For example, this could be used to calculate the gravitational force between Mars and Earth and isn't really much use for objects that fit on the Earth as their masses aren't large enough.
