Gravity experiment machine.?

Question

I was in a spaceship and I could alter the gravity of a star with the turn of a dial from increasing and decreasing the star's gravity.
What would I expect from the star in both gently decreasing the gravity and gently increasing the gravity.

Answer 1

The star would expand and contract (because it's under pressure). Also, your orbit would change. You'd have to be careful not to decrease gravity too much for too long, or else the star would explode.

Answer 2

And if your spaceship was as far away as the Earth is from the Sun (93 million miles) then you'd have to wait 8 minutes for the gravity to affect your ship. Gravity moves at the speed of light.

Answer 3

Increasing gravity would alter your orbit and would also alter the brightness of the star. More gravity would compress the star's core and increase the nuclear reaction rate and less gravity would lower the reaction rate.

Answer 4

If your spaceship is say 100 meters above the surface of that star and you do not alter the thrust force of your spaceship and do the following.......

1. As you increase gravity
A. Your spacecraft will move closer to the star

2. As you decrease gravity
A. Your spacecraft will move away from the star

Answer 5

The star would get larger & less bright as gravity decreased
and smaller & brighter as gravity increased...
This is of course discounting everything except the terms of
your question...

Answer 6

Hi. You would alter your spaceship's orbit. More gravity, you would speed up. Etc.
