Yes it does. According to Einstein. If the sun were to explode right this second, we would feel it at the same time we would see it. In about 8 minutes.

Gravity travels at the speed of light. If the sun disappeared instantly we would not be thrown out of orbit for about 8 minutes.

gravity doesnt move. its a force. now if ur talking about does the thing falling cuz of gravity, then yes the speed of light is faster.....think about it, if the second u turned off the light u fell, i dont think u would fall faster than the light came on

No particle or energy travels faster than a photon at 186,000 miles per second.
Even if gravity or some other force did, we couldn't see it, and thus know about it, because it would be faster than light speed!
