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.

Since the Moon's orbit centers on the Earth, rather than the Sun, it would be a little confusing to think of the Moon's orbit as a year. Instead, this cycle of the Moon orbiting the Earth is much closer to our calendar system of months. It takes 27.322 days (or 655.728 hours) for the Moon to orbit the Earth. If that number looks familiar, it's because the orbital period of the Moon is exactly the same as its rotational period.
