Gram-negative ((of bacteria) being of or relating to a bacterium that does not retain the violet stain used in Gram's method). Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of bacteria): acidophil; acidophile (an organism that thrives in a relatively acid environment).
Gravity from the Sun reaches throughout the solar system and beyond, keeping the planets in their orbits. Gravity from Earth keeps the Moon and human-made satellites in orbit. It is possible to far away from a planet or star and feel less gravity, because gravity decreases with distance.But that doesn't account for the weightless feeling that astronauts experience in space.ravity from the Sun reaches throughout the solar system and beyond, keeping the planets in their orbits.

For the last few billion years the Moon's gravity has been raising tides in Earth's oceanswhich the fast spinning Earth attempts to drag ahead of the sluggishly orbiting Moon. The result is that the Moon is being pushed away from Earth by 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) per year and our planet's rotation is slowing. If left unabated the Moon would continue in its retreat until it would take bout 47 days to orbit the Earth.
