What are the Gravitational Constants for each planet?

Its directly proportional to their mass. The higher the mass, the stronger the gravity. This website will tell you what your weight would be on other planets:

The higher the gravity, the more you will weigh
This site gives the gravity of other planets:

The "gravitational constant" is just that: a constant. It does not vary from planet to planet. If it did vary, it wouldn't be a constant. BTW, the gravitational constant is known as "the big G".

Gravity dictates the orbits of the planets around the sun (and as Janus said, the moons around the planets). By measuring those orbits, you can calculate the planet's gravity.

Gravity will vary with the density of space. Since all of the space in our solar system is fairly constant, gravity should be fairly constant per Einstein's formula.

It differs from planet to planet. It gets stronger the further out you go. but the density of the air is thicker, its like swiming through air, instead of walking. thats why they think that if there are any animals on those dense planets they are giants.
