No. The classic counterexample is the torus (ring-shape); the center of gravity is in the geometric center of the ring, which is NOT part of the ring.
The center of gravity always lies within an object, and is the location at which the entire mass can be considered acting at a single point.For a system of more than one object, the center of gravity can lie anywhere between the farthest points of the objects, depending on the distribution of mass. The center of mass is called the barycenter.
It lies at the center of the Earth.
Yes. For example in the case of a doughnut shape, the center of gravity is in the center of the doughnut - and that is outside the doughnut. Or a boomerang or horseshoe type shape, the center of gravity could easily position off of the object.
Charles Darwin did not discover gravity, that was Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. Charles Darwin was a naturalist and biologist known for his work in the theory of evolution through natural selection, not for discoveries related to gravity.
No, the center of gravity of a solid body may not always lie within the body. It depends on the distribution of mass within the body. If the mass is distributed symmetrically, then the center of gravity will be located within the body. However, if the mass distribution is asymmetrical, the center of gravity may lie outside of the body.

The human body is bilatertally symmetrical because the left and right halves of the body mirror each other, as you can see in the image to the left.as such the centre of mass of the human body should lie in its geometrical centre of the bodyIn most people the center of mass is around the belt buckle andabout 4" in. A Japanese martial arts instructor could be used to show you where the "hara" is. This approximately the same location.
It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
No, the center of mass of a body cannot lie where there is no mass. The center of mass is a point that represents the average position of all the mass in a system. In the absence of mass, there is no center of mass.
The sagittal; specifically, the midsagittal division.
The center of mass of a solid object may or may not lie within the object. For example, in a uniform sphere, the center of mass lies within the object at the geometric center. However, in objects with irregular shapes or voids, the center of mass may lie outside the physical boundaries of the object.
