I think you are talking about acceleration... The value of G in terms of acceleration varies, but I think the speed doesn't.

The value G on earth = 9.81m/s/s (that's acceleration).

The value of G on the moon = 1/6 of that on the Earth.

I think Neo might be able to clear this up better than I can?
