Re: Speed of gravity?

Isn't gravity an attraction force? For the Earth, it's
9.81 meter per second per second or 9.81 m/sec2
(Gravity excerts an acceleration)
And light has a speed of 300,000 km/s.

If the Sun were to vanish and have nothing to replace its mass, then everything around it will go straight ahead in the direction of motion it had at the moment of the sun's dissapearance.
