Does the sun's gravity affect your weight?

Technically, yes. But certainly not enough that you would notice it.In my drawer full of file folders full of articles that describe gadgets which I willbuild some day, there is one for an electronic thing that monitors minute changesin the force and direction of local gravity. But I mean really truly minute changes ...if you build it with enough care, so it says, you can see the daily variations thatare due to the over passing of the sun and moon. Now that's minute!The ratio of (your weight towards the Earth) and (your weight towards the sun)should beearth's mass/sun's mass times [distance to sun's center/distance to Earth's center]2 .When I plug some numbers into that, I get about 1,623 . So if, for your mass, yourweight on Earth should be 200 pounds, then the influence of the sun would makeyou appear to be something like 2 ounces lighter than that at noon, and 2 ouncesheavier at midnight. (This completely ignores any influence of the moon, whichprobably ought to figure into it too.)I used:Earth radius . . . 4,000 milesSun distance . . . 93 million milesEarth mass . . . . 5.9742 x 1024 kgSolar mass . . . . 1.989 x 1030 kg


How do you know when a girl is tired of you?

Some signs that a girl may be tired of you include decreased communication, lack of interest in spending time together, and overall disengagement from the relationship. It's important to communicate openly and honestly with each other to address any issues before making assumptions.


What did daedalus mean when he told his son no fancy steering by star or constellation?

When Daedalus advised his son Icarus not to rely on "fancy steering by star or constellation," he meant that Icarus should not be overly ambitious or reckless in his flight. Instead of trying to reach great heights or pursue lofty dreams without caution, he should focus on maintaining a steady and safe course. This warning highlights the importance of moderation and the dangers of hubris, foreshadowing Icarus's tragic downfall when he ignores his father's advice.


What should you do if someone you like ignores you?

Maybe your not spending enough time with them. Maybe you need to get noticed! How about if you just be yourself. They will eventually notice you, but if they don't I'm afraid they might not be interested in you? No one knows, but there is lot of girls out there so don't stick with one that doesn't want anything to do with you.
