I have the mass of Venus as 4.867× 1024 kilograms with a radius of 6051800 meters.
The Gravitational Constant G is given as
6.6725985×10-11 Newton-Dot-Meter-Squared
Per Kilogram-Squared (N•m2/kg2).
The Gravitational Force Of Venus on the mass of a body on the planet's surface
is then given by (mbody)gVenus equal to (mbody)GMVenus/RVenus2
or (mbody)(6.6725985×10-11)(4.867×1024)/(6051800)2 [(N•m2/kg2)(kg2)/(m)2]
which reduces to 8.867214325mbody [kg•m/s2 or Newtons (N)].
