R almost exclusively stands for radius, like in math. However, it depends on the situation. For example, in the equation PV=nRT, R is actually the gas constant, which is 8.31 J/(mol*K). I recommend looking at the units, as that will almost always show what 'R' should represent; anything in a single dimension (ie meters, parsecs, kilometers) R is most likely radius.

What are Newton's contributions in gravitational physics?

Gravitational Physics is Newtonian Physics! Quaternion Gravity will be an advance, when Gravitational Energy is recognized to be: E = Newtonian Energy (-mu/r) and vector Energy (mcV) = -mu/r + mcV.
