As the Sun loses its mass will the Earth's orbit increase due to the lesser effect of the Sun's gravitational pull?

Yes, a tiny bit. The Sun is losing mass by turning it into energy, and also by losing particles in the solar wind. However, the amount of mass lost is so small compared to the total mass of the Sun, that the difference in gravity isn't even measurable.

What two factors will affect gravitational attraction?
Mass and distance. The force decreases with the square of the distance, so mass has a lesser effect on the equation.
Is your sun and other stars far away in another galaxy too far to feel a gravitational force between them?
Galaxies do exert significant gravitational attraction on other galaxies. For example, the Greater and the Lesser Magellanic Clouds are galaxies that orbit our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In that sense, the stars in one galaxy do have a gravitational interaction with those in other galaxies. Of course, the more distant galaxies have correspondingly less gravitational interaction with ours.
What are the characteristics that cause a planet to have less gravity?
The force due to gravity of a planet is dependent on the mass of that planet (and to a lesser extent the radius/diameter). If a planet is less massive then it will have a lower gravitational force.
What does a 100 pound person weight on Uranus?
Assuming the person's weight on Earth is 100 pounds, on Uranus, which has a lesser gravitational pull, that person would weigh approximately 89 pounds.
How is the ocean affected by the moon?
By gravity. The Moon (and to a slightly lesser extent the Sun) exerts a gravitational force on the ocean (actually, on the whole Earth, but it's easier for the ocean, being liquid, to reshape itself in response) that produces the tides.

What would happen to the earths tide if the moon was further away?
High tides would be smaller and low tides would be bigger, but would still occur. The cause of the tides is the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and sun. If the moon were further from the earth, its gravitational attraction would be less strong, and its effect on the earth's liquid envelope would be correspondingly less.
Does an increase in weight affect heart rate?
Yes. BMI does effect the heart rate. With more BMI, more will be the heart rate. With lesser BMI lesser will be the heart/pulse rate
What is neaptide?
Tides are fluctuations in the height of bodies of water due to the gravitational effect of the moon. The water is high when the moon is directly overhead or on the other side of the world and low when the moon is on the horizon. This effect can be greater or lesser depending on whether the sun's gravitational effect is added to that of the moon. At full moon and new moon, when the moon is lined up with the sun, the tidal effect is at its greatest. This is called spring tide. But at the quarters the sun's gravity counteracts that of the moon and the tidal effect is less. This is called neap tide.
How does newton's law of universal gravity relate to ocean movements?
The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon, and to a lesser degree, the gravitational attraction of the sun, on the oceans.
What was the effect of reducing the channel bandwidth?
lesser data traffic
What does tidal energy result from?
Tidal energy results from the gravitational pull on water by the Moon, and to a lesser degree, the sun. These gravitational effects combine with centrifugal forces that result from the Earth and the Moon orbiting each other.
Does mar have gravity?
Yes, every celestial object has a gravity effect, to a greater or lesser degree than we experience here on Earth. The acceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.71 meters per second2 ... about 38% of what it is on Earth.
When a tide goes in and out it gives us this energy What is this energy?
check the wave equation... it is really kinetic energy.........Tides are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the moon and to a lesser extent the gravitational pull of the sun on the water in the seas and oceans
What can you deduce about the effect of applying less effort?
Making that change will produce a lesser result.
How does laying egg on narrow and steep cliffs increase the chance of survival of an organism?
It has lesser pradator there
When repeated exposure to the same dose of a drug results in a lesser effect this is called?
Drug habituation
