First we would freeze to death
It would be Bad!
Yes, they orbit the sun, a nice balance of centrifugal force and gravity. If they did not move, relative to the sun, the sun's gravity would pull the asteroids into
The suns gravity can only be part of the answer as to its affect upon the earth. If there were only the suns gravity then we would be pulled into it. Thankfully we have all of the other heavenly bodies which work together to keep us where we are in our own particular place in space.
Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. If planets were not subject to the gravitational attraction of the sun, they would fly off into interstellar space. In addition, gravity is also what holds planets together. If there were no gravity, the planets, and the sun, would disintegrate under the force of their own spin. There would be nothing left of the solar system but an expanding cloud of gas and dust.
The Earth would start flying off into space.
The food and warmth we need to survive. It would also seriously meddle with gravity.
The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.
The gravity of the sun is massive. A 100 lb person would weigh over 2100 lbs on the sun!
If the Sun gravity is stronger than we would get closer to the sun
No. Earth would be trapped by the Sun's gravity even if it didn't shone.
If there was no gravity, the Sun and and the planets would never have formed.
The earth is held in its orbit due to the gravitational effect of the sun. Were the sun to lose its gravity, the earth would fly off into space and quickly freeze.
It would be Bad!
The same thing that happens every night when the sun disappears...nothing! Gravity on Earth is not dependent on the Sun. But life on Earth is, gravity would be the least of Earth's problems if the Sun dissapeared
Yes. Earth's gravity is the result of Earth's own mass, which is not dependent on the sun.
If th sun's gravity were to disappear, Earth would go off in a straight line into interstellar space.
the ansewer is not gravity. Gravity is what keeps it around the sun. you see mercury has linear motion, which just means it is going strait. if the sun had no gravity mercury would simply fly past the sun and out of the solar system. Also if mercury had no linar motion it would simply fall strait into the sun. so.. it is the balance of gravity with mercury's linear motion that keeps it in orbit around the sun.
