Gaussian gravitational constant
Carl Friedrich Gauss expressed the gravitational constant in units of the solar system rather than SI units. The benefit is that the motion of the planets can be accurately described, without exact knowledge of the scale of the solar system or the masses of the Sun and planets expressed in mundane units like those of the SI system.
