We know that the space around an object where the gravitational force Fg exerted by it can be experienced by any other object is known as the gravitational field of the object.
The strength per units mass of this gravitational field is called gravitational intensity Eg. Both are related as

Eg=Fgm

Comparing with f=ma, units of Eg are of those of accelration.

(Using equation for Universal Law of Gravitation we see that

Eg=GMR2=g
where g is acceleration due to gravity.)

SI units of acceleration are ms2
CGS units of acceleration are cms2
Ratio of SI units to CGS units =ms2cms2=102
