For example speed of light, absolute zero temperature, etc.

I recommend a template consisting:

constant name
unit type
unit scale
value (in that scale)
a short description (optional)

Answer 2 · 2017-10-29T16:33:01.000Z

what about this template?:

constants group
constant name
unit scale
value
a short description

I think it's better because sometimes you want to group constants even though they have different types.
for example, I would like to have a group named "earth properties" which includes its axis radiuses (length type), its mass (mass type), its spinning speed (angular speed) etc.

The idea of the short description is a great one which I didn't think of! do you think we need this somewhere else also?
