Benj Small half inch magnet lifts nail of earth's surface. Think how
big the earth is in comparison. Its the mutual gravity of the earth,and
sun that keeps the earth in orbit. Best to keep in mind the sun mass is
more than 99% of the solar system. Still when mass is squeezed down
till it becomes a neutron star its gravity strength is enormous.

At any fixed distance, the gravitational strength of the Sun doesn't
change, Herb... even if you squeeze in inside it Schwarzschild radius.


A one
pound object dropped from just 3 feet up would hit the surface with a
force of the power of our biggest H-Bomb and black holes are 3 times
stronger than a neutron star. Gravity can be infinitely weak,and
almost infinitely strong Bert

Let me suppose that the sun suddenly splits into two equal parts flying apart with a speed ~0.9 c, neither of which hits the earth. ... Then yes, knowledge of this splitting would reach the earth simultaneously via light and gravity, ~8 minutes after the split. ... But the "gravitational force" from the sun felt on earth at that time points toward the sun's position in this frame at that time. ...
