If one is hypothetically measuring gravity from a long distance, would there be a delay between the gravity encompassed by a source and the gravity detected from a distance, similarly to how there is a delay in the measurement of light from a distance?

I know that gravity might be independent from time since it is influence by an object's existence. But then again, gravity is a part of space-time.

If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?

Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.


The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?

No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.


How would the force of gravity between Neptune and the sun be affected if Neptune were closer to the sun?

Yes. The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between any two masses.


How would the force of gravity between two masses be affected if the separation distance between them were halved?

If the separation distance between two masses is halved, the force of gravity between them would increase by a factor of 4. This is because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance. Thus, reducing the distance by half would result in the force of gravity increasing by a factor of (1/0.5)^2 = 4.


Does the weight or mass make gravity change?

WEll, mass is how much you take up. If you were to go to the moon, you weight would change but your mass would not. Answer your question?My version:Weight is a subjective measurement based on gravity Mass is a measurement that precludes the effects of gravity and will be how the gravitational pull is measured


Would newtons change on the moon?

No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.

Does distance change an objects built in gravity?

I guess the scientific concept that is closest to the "built-in gravity" would be the mass. In that case, the answer is "no". The force between two objects does change, depending on the distance.I guess the scientific concept that is closest to the "built-in gravity" would be the mass. In that case, the answer is "no".

In acceleration if you were taking distance measurements of a free falling object at onesecond intervals you would see the object moving at each measurement interval?

If you were taking distance measurements of a free falling object at one-second intervals, you would observe the object accelerating downward. Each measurement interval would show the object covering a greater distance than the previous interval due to the acceleration from gravity acting on the object.


Does a Neutrino affected by Gravity?

Yes. I suppose it would be hard to verify through experiment, but there is no specific reason why it shouldn't - basically, it has mass. Even light is affected by gravity.


That the measurement of that distance would be accurate?

Is a desirable thing in science.
