Varying Gravity
+0
−0
Suppose a very large planet orbited a star or other spacial body in an oval shaped path, similar to Earth's but closer to induce a varying gravity during orbit.
The planet has a large gravity well and the star or other body has a stronger one when nearest to it on the planet's orbital path.
- Is this possible?
- Assuming it is possible and life has started and it has adapted to the shifts in gravity, would the organisms be pulled towards the star or other body when it is closest the the star or other body but still remain on the planet, creating a stretched effect?
