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.

Where does the center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth lies?
Since the atmosphere is more or less symmetric, its center of mass (center of gravity) gravity must be quite close to Earth's center.
Does the center of gravity always lie on the body?
The center of gravity always lies within an object, and is the location at which the entire mass can be considered acting at a single point.For a system of more than one object, the center of gravity can lie anywhere between the farthest points of the objects, depending on the distribution of mass. The center of mass is called the barycenter.
What is the main difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
Since gravity is produced by mass, the center of mass is also the center of gravity. The only difference between these two concepts is that mass is a more basic quantity, so the center of mass would also be the center of inertia, as well as the center of gravity. In practice, these terms can be used interchangeably.
Is it impossible that the location of the center of gravity is in a point where there is no mass?
It is not possible for the center of gravity to be at a point where there is no mass, as it is a weighted average that considers the distribution of mass within a body. If there is no mass at a point, it cannot contribute to the calculation of the center of gravity.
What is center of gravity or mass?
the center of gravity is your step mom's BFF
Does the center of gravity always lies on the body?
No. For example, a ring has a center of gravity in the center of the ring, not on any part of the ring.
Is center of mass the center of gravity?
yes
Is center of mass the same as center of gravity?
No, they are not the same. The center of mass is the point where the entire mass of an object can be considered to be concentrated, while the center of gravity is the point where the force of gravity appears to act on the object. The center of mass and center of gravity may coincide under certain conditions, such as in a uniform gravitational field.
Difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
Does the center of mass of an object ever differ from the center of gravity?
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.
What is central force?
the force which lies in the center of the gravity
Were does gravity pull you?
Toward the center of mass of the object or objects attracting you. Gravity also pulls it/them toward the center of mass of you.
