-- All the other members of the solar system ... planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroid swarms,
Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud objects ... would simply keep going in straight lines from wherever
they were when the gravity got turned off. The solar system would simply unravel, and cease
to be a collection of objects that are related in any way.
-- The sun itself would also fly apart, becoming a cloud of hydrogen and helium that got thinner
as it got bigger.

What would happen to mercury if the sun lost its gravitational pull?
It would drift out into space at a constant speed along the tangent to its orbit when gravity stopped.
What would happen if the earth lost it's gravitational pull holding the moon in place?
There won't be any gravitation on earth so then we will be floating in mid air.
What would happen to your corpse in space?
Your corpse would not deteriorate as there is no oxygen. It would just be out there forever, frozen, floating around until it entered the gravitational pull of some larger body.
Why would a rocket have to travel at a faster speed to escape Jupiter's gravitational pull?
Jupiter's gravitational pull is much stronger than that of Earth.
How does tide happens?
The tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth, and its effect on the water levels of the oceans.
What would happen to mercury if the sun lost its gravitational pull?
It would drift out into space at a constant speed along the tangent to its orbit when gravity stopped.
What would happen if the sun's gravitational pull was increased?
we would probably die
What would happen if the earth lost it's gravitational pull holding the moon in place?
There won't be any gravitation on earth so then we will be floating in mid air.
What would happen to water if you stopped the motion of the bucket upside down?
it would fall down because of the gravitational pull
How would you give an object gravitational pull?
All obects have a gravitational pull. The larger it is, the stronger the pull.
What is the main reason why tides happen?
The moon's gravitational pull
Does the sun have gravitional pull?
Yes, It has a strong gravitational pull. Without the gravitational pull, none of the planets would orbit it.
What might happen if the sun loses it gravitational pull?
Then we all will die
What would happen if the gravitational force was eliminated between the earth and sun?
The earth's constant orbit around the sun is caused by an equilibrium between two forces - the gravitational pull of the sun, and the earth's velocity acting at a right angle to it. If that gravitational pull was suddenly eliminated, the earth would continue onwards in a straight line.
Why does not the sun revolve around the earth?
Because the sun is way bigger than the earth. And the sun's gravitational pull is way stronger than the earth. So the answer is the sun's gravitational pull. Because without the sun we would be floating lost in space
If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
What would happen to my mass and weight if I was on the moon?
The mass would be the same where ever you go in the universe
