Calculate the change in g value in your district of Tamilnadu. (Hint: Get the latitude of your district of Tamilnadu from the Google). What is the difference in g values at Chennai and Kanyakumari?

If the force of gravity acts on all bodies in proportion to their masses, why does heavy body not all faster than a light body?

Acceleration to Newton's law of gravitation the apple and the earth experience equal & opposite forces due to gravitation. But it is the apple falls towards the earth and not vice-versa. Why?

A student was asked a question ‘why are there summer and winter for us? He replied as since Earth is orbiting in an elliptical orbit, when the Earth is very far away from the Sun(aphelion) there will be winter, when the Earth is nearer to the Sun(perihelion) there will be winter. Is this answer correct? If not, what is the correct explanation for the occurrence of summer and winter?
