why does gravity on earth pull to the centre of the world but the gravity of the sun forces us to go around the sun and be part of the solar system.

Is it possible that melting ice causes the balance bewteen tectonic plates to readjust?
Ice sheets that have exerted billions of tonnes of pressure from weight on to the earth for tens of thousands or even millions of years. When this ice melts, or breaks off and goes into the sea, the pressure is released on the ground.
Is there any evidence that this might be happening? Could there be a casual relationship between global warming and the reduction of the ice sheet in Antarctica and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean?
I would be interested in links for further investigation.

I asked this question before but I was not clear enough in my question (and i cant answer my own question to provide clarification on the old thread). I read elswhere that the poles, in their respective summer soltices, get more radiation than the equator. Which begs the question, where gets the least? Mid lattitudes? The equator? Obviously when the south is in summer the north is in winter and vice versa and the winter side pole will get least sun. That isnt what i am asking. On the summer side of the earth (either north or south), on its longest day, which lattitude gets the most solar energy, bearing in mind that the summer pole will get 24 hours of low sun while the equator will get 12 hours of mostly high sun.
