Gravity is believed to travel at the speed of light. This follows from theory, especially the Special and the General Theory of Relativity; I believe there is not yet enough experimental evidence to confirm this speed.

What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
Why are the planets going in different speed?
The speed that an object travels in its orbit depends on its distance from the sun. That's how gravity works.
What happens to the speed of a ball as it travels toward the ground?
The ball speeds up as it travels to the ground as gravity pulls it down to make it go fast.
What happens to the speed of a ball as it travels towards the ground?
The ball speeds up as it travels to the ground as gravity pulls it down to make it go fast.
Why is the speed of light important in physics?
The speed of light seems to be a speed limit in the Universe - it isn't possible to transport matter, energy, or information faster than that. Others think that gravity travels faster; Einstein created a universe with an infinate speed of gravity -- it's in the geometry.
A ball rolling down an incline has its minimum speed?
The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.
Does a Baseball pitch speed up after delivery?
No it doesn't. The top speed is at the release point. Thanks to gravity and weather conditions the farther a ball travels the more it slows down.
How lava travels?
It travels as a liquid, in response to gravity and obstructions, until friction or solidification overcome the force of gravity.
If a spacecraft is in orbit around the earth and the its speed increases enough to destroy the balance between centrifugal force and gravity what happens to the spacecraft?
it travels into space
How does the weight of a toy car affect the distance it travels?
Gravity, the heavier the object the more force gravity has on it, and the faster it can accell before the force of friction (from the wheels, road surface and air) equal the force of gravity till it hits is maximum speed.
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
How is Uranus speed is less than Jupiter's speed?
The way gravity works, a planet in a larger orbit travels slower than one in a smaller orbit. And PLUS, don't forget, it also has farther to go.
