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.


Quantity of matter in an object?

The quantity of matter that a body possesses is called mass. Mass can also be described as the measure of an object's resistance to a change in motion, also called inertia.


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.

Does an atom have center of gravity?

Everything with mass has a center of gravity although in an atomic scale these numbers are very small and in newtons laws state all things with mass put forces on anything else with mass so it might not be possible to balance an atom on top of another atom but everything has a center of gravity that has mass or weight no matter how big or small
