The same distant light travels. A light wave is also a particle which would have gravity. The earth does reflect some light from our sun, inturn bounced to outer space. So when you look at distant stars you are actualy feeling the gravity from those solar systems with the retina in your eye. The distance of gravitational effect must then be calculated by multiplying the speed of light by the age of the universe. As light would not have reached beyond that point yet. This of course would be a variable because the gravity would thus expand with the passage of time, however relatively it would still be the same.

The effects of gravity decrease in a distance squared relationship. Basically (G * M) / D ^ 2
G = the gravitational constant.
M = mass of the earth
D = distance from the center of the earth
Plug in the numbers and have fun.

I got the information as the gravitational force never diminishes to 0. As the height increases the gravitational force get decreased.

Yes, everything in the universe has a gravitational effect on everything else.
When you orbit the Earth, you're actually falling towards it. But you're moving, so you keep falling over the edge.

I think it is around 8 Kms. But not sure.

In quantum physics, it is thought that gravitational fields MAY extend beyond our universe (caveat) and that all gravitational objects in our universe have an influence on all other objects in our universe

i have studied it few days back. My teacher taught that there is no such formula by which we can find the height of gravity(range of gravitational force). If you get any such formula please mail it to me at geetu_cancer@yahoo.co.in
