(FALSE) False.
$G$ is the Universal Gravitational Constant. Its value is $6.673 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N m}^2 \text{ kg}^{-2}$.
It is a constant value throughout the universe and does not depend on the mass,radius,or shape of the bodies involved.

An object has a mass of $30 \ kg$. What is its weight $(i)$ on the moon $(ii)$ on another planet? The value of $g$ on the moon is $1/6$ the value of $g$ on the earth. The value of $g$ on the planet is $3$ times the value of $g$ on the earth. Take $g_{earth} = 10 \ m/s^2$.
