Gravity is related to mass, the more mass you have clumped together the stronger the gravity field of that clump of mass.

Thus if the clump loses some of its mass, the gravity field of that mass will decrease, and because it is possible to lose mass in this way (stellar explosions) it follows that it is indeed possible to lose mass and gravity.

Can a planet suddenly lose its gravity?

No that is impossible. Gravity is related to mass, so while a planet still has mass it still has gravity.


Could the earth could possibly lose its gravitational pull one day?

I think that gravity is based on mass, so the ?only? way the Earth could noticably lose gravity would be to lose a large amount of mass.


Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?

No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.


Is it impossible that the location of the center of gravity is in a point where there is no mass?

It is not possible for the center of gravity to be at a point where there is no mass, as it is a weighted average that considers the distribution of mass within a body. If there is no mass at a point, it cannot contribute to the calculation of the center of gravity.


If gravity increased then your weight will?

When gravity increases, weight also increases. Unlike mass, weight depends on gravity. The moon has 1/6 the gravity of the Earth, so if you want to lose weight instantly, you could theoretically stay on the moon. However, what many people want to lose is mass.


What is the same between gravity and mass?

The only identical feature shared by gravity and mass is the letter 'a' . The only other possible respect in which they are at all similar is the fact that they both arise during the discussion of the law and effects of gravity.


Is it possible for an object's weight to change its mass remains constant?

Yes because of gravity


How is it possible to weigh specimens under zero gravity conditions?

You can measure the mass of your specimen, or the number of matter in it. If you are talking about weight it is not possible, because weight is gravity's effect on that specimen.


Would your mass change after you run?

Mass, being the total amount of matter in an object, would change when you run, because you sweat when you run. If you ran every day, you could lose a considerable amount of weight (mass x force of gravity), so you would also lose mass.That being said, mass is not = to weight, but YES, you can lose mass by running


Gravity and how mass effects it?

gravity and how mass is effected by it


What is the mass and force of gravity?

Gravity is a force but has no mass.


Is it possible for an object's weight to be different than its mass?

More then possible! It is so by definition. Mass is the "amount" of material in an object; weight is the force the object exerts under the influence of gravity.
