Gravity is another kind of ________. It exerts all through the ________. The Sun's gravity keeps the ___________ in their orbits. Gravity can only be felt with very large ________.
Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
