A centre of gravity is outside a single body where that body is shapde in such a manner as to cause that. For example, the COG of a horseshoe is not inside the horseshoe metal, but in the middle between the two sides of it, because the mass on either side of that point balances around it. A bar stool has a COG outside itself, since the same effect applies.

Usually the centre of gravity is at the centre of the object, scaling from both sides OR centre of mass where the object is stable when holding it up on a pin point
The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.
The centre of mass.

The object is accelerated towards the centre of mass of system formed by the object moving and the other object.

No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.
The earth pulls every molecule of an object in a downwards direction, or in other words every molecule of an object has a weight. We can add all the millions of tiny molecule weights together and get a single resultant force for the weight of the whole object. So an object behaves as if its whole weight was a single force which acts through a point G called its centre of gravity. An object of uniform thickness and density has its mass evenly spread throughout and its centre of gravity is at its geometrical centre. Some examples of objects with regular shapes and uniform densities are shown in the figures below. It is interesting to note the centre of gravity of an object is not necessarily inside the object.
This is a simple physics question. The centre of gravity (the place where most of an object's weight is) does not fall outside the base of the mountain.
the centre of the sphere.
If the object is a thin lamina with uniform thickness (e.g. a piece of paper), the the centre of gravity of the object is at its geometrical centre. It can be determined by suspending a load (e.g. pendulum) on an edge of the lamina twice and the point where the plumb lines intersect is the centre of gravity.
isn't in gravity??
The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.
As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.
If it is a tall object, it could fall over.
