Gravity is really Density!

The two types of 'gravity' are discussed; acceleration due to "gravity", g, in metres per second squared, and the universal "gravitation" constant, G, in newtons metre squared per kg squared
What role does air pressure and density play in this?
A few equations here, starting from first principles with assumptions, and the all important dimensional analysis of units!
G is compared with the Coulomb constant
Bernoulli Equation is briefly discussed
Screenshots of spreadsheet calculations are included, compared and contrasted
The "killer question" then is what is responsible for this acceleration?
