Every speck of mass throughout any solid body "has gravity", and attracts every

other speck of mass. But when you're outside of the solid body, the gravitational

effect of all those specks of mass is exactly as if all of its mass were located at

its "center of mass" or "center of gravity". For a homogeneous spherical object,

that point is the center of the sphere.
