They would still pull on the Earth, the Sun, and our galaxy. But their individual gravities would be nearly indistinguishable as part of the overall gravity of the parent galaxy. The variations in our gravity due to other stars is negligible compared to that of the Earth, the Sun, and objects within the solar system. But the combined force of many stars are what keep the galaxy from flying apart, and what draws galaxies toward each other.

The Earth, being our closest large mass, exerts many times the pull on earthly objects as the distant Sun. (Gravity is inversely proportional to distance from the center of mass.)

Why is the Atlantis stargate weird?

Because they are in another galaxy and and they recognise the symbols of the of the stargate differently in the Pegasus galaxy.


What is the difference between a flocculent spiral galaxy and a grand design spiral galaxy?

A grand design spiral galaxy (like Whirlpool Galaxy) has prominent and well defined spiral arms, whereas a flocculent galaxy (like Sunflower Galaxy) has short segments of spiral structure, "fluffy" in appearance, but without the dramatic well defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral.


What is a massive gravitationally bound?

A massive gravitationally bound system typically refers to a structure in the universe where a significant amount of mass, such as galaxies or galaxy clusters, is held together by gravitational forces. This binding occurs when the gravitational attraction between the constituent objects is strong enough to overcome their kinetic energy, preventing them from drifting apart. Such systems can include galaxies, star clusters, or even larger structures like superclusters, which play a crucial role in the large-scale structure of the universe.


What is the relationship between the candy bar and the galaxy?

The relationship between a candy bar and the galaxy primarily lies in branding and marketing; for example, the Milky Way candy bar is named after the Milky Way galaxy. This name evokes a sense of wonder and indulgence, linking the sweetness of the candy to the vastness and beauty of the cosmos. Additionally, both the candy bar and the galaxy can symbolize exploration—one through taste and the other through the mysteries of space.

Your sun and any star far away in another galaxy despite being very far apart still feel a gravitational force between them?

Yes, all objects with mass exert a gravitational force on each other regardless of the distance between them. This force follows the universal law of gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This explains why the sun and a star in another galaxy can still feel each other's gravitational pull, even if they are very far apart.


Our sun and any star far away in another galaxy are too distant to feel a gravitational force between them?

True


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 is the difference between a galaxy and a satellite galaxy?

A satellite galaxy is one that revolves around another galaxy.


Are satellites outside the earths gravitational pull?

No. It's the mutual gravitational force between it and the earth that keeps a satellitein a closed orbit, instead of flying off away from earth in a straight line.Technically, there's no such thing as "outside of" the gravitational force of anything.We can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and the earth.In fact, we can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and you.The force is pretty small, but it's there.


Our sun and any star far away in another galaxy despite being very far apart still feel a gravitation force between them true or false?

Is the farther away galaxy is from us the faster it is moving away from us?

The farther away another galaxy is from our solar system the less effect that the gravitational pull will have on that galaxy.Thus allowing the other galaxy to travel at a faster rate.


How far is the earth gravitaional force is present That is What is the height?

There is no limit, and it never ends. The formula to calculate the gravitational force at any distance has no limit in it. The force of the gravitational attraction between the earth and another object can be calculated even if the other object is in another galaxy. Of course, the farther apart two masses are, the smaller the gravitational force between them is. So when you're far from the earth, there's probably something else nearby that attracts you with a stronger gravitational force than the earth does. But no matter how far away you are, and how weak it gets, the earth's gravitational force never ends.


Our sun and any star far away in another galaxy are too distant to feel a gravitational force between them true or false?

True. The gravitational force between two objects decreases with distance, and the vast distances between our sun and distant stars in other galaxies make their gravitational influence negligible. While gravity acts over infinite distances, the effects become incredibly weak at such scales, making it difficult to perceive any significant gravitational interaction.


How does the solar system move?

By gravitational pull from the galaxy


Does a massive elliptical galaxy have a lot or very little gravitational force on other galaxies?

Massive means there is a lot of mass - and gravitational attraction depends on the amount of mass. The amount of gravitational attraction also depends on the distance - i.e., the effect will be less at larger distances. The gravitational attraction between galaxies is strong enough to make galaxies in a galaxy cluster stay together - for example, in our Local Group.


When is gravity zero?

The force of gravitational attraction between two masses is never zero. There is a force of gravitational attraction between a hair on your head and the smallest moon in the farthest galaxy. The force may be too small to measure, but it's never zero.
