The center of mass and center of gravity serve two separate purposes. As an individual, your center of gravity and center of mass remains the same. The earth has a center of mass. The moon has a center of mass. The moon does not orbit the earth. They orbit their center of gravity. Their center if gravity is always changing. It is not a fixed point. When an airplane takes off, its center of gravity is one place. As it burns fuel, its center of gravity changes. It might be necessary to change its attitude, which today is done automatically by computers. The computers are checked at the end of the flight by human beings.
If the sphere of water remains a sphere as it leaks, and the water leaving the boundary of the sphere are no longer considered part of the sphere, the center of gravity will be the center of sphere. If the sphere does not have to remain a sphere as it leaks, if it was in a spherical container, the center of gravity would move downward from center, approaching the source of leakage.

It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
No, objects cannot have more than one center of gravity. The center of gravity of an object can however change.

No, because mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. So whatever may be the distance from the center of gravity it always remains the same.

The placement of the center of gravity (CG) and the center of lift (CL) affects pitch stability. When engineers design an airplane, it is usually designed so the center of gravity is placed forward of the center of lift. With this "built in stability" if a plane goes into an abrupt dive, the aerodynamic forces will bring the nose back up to level flight.

The center of gravity is an average of the location of the points of gravity. If you had a flying ring like a Frisbee but without the center, the center of the gravity would be in the hole.

important points about center of gravity
the center gravity
That all depends on the shape of the object and how its mass is distributed. The center of gravity of a solid sphere is at the center of the solid sphere. The center of gravity of a solid cube is at the center of the solid cube. The Earth's center of gravity is at the center of the Earth, and there's certainly plenty of mass there. But the center of gravity of a ring is at the center of the ring ... an open space where the finger goes.
