Micro > have we thought anything about the effects of the gravitational pull of our sun on the climate of our planet?
Well Boss,
What the Sun's gravitational pull does to the earth is to hold it in its orbit. I can't see where the Sun's gravitational pull should have anything to do with earth's climate.
However, as I've been seeing in my latest researches, the gravitational pulls of Jupiter and Saturn CAN slightly alter the earth's orbit and that should cause some change in our climate.

Go to the above site. It will tell you what I've just been learning.
(From the above article)
>>>
These cyclical orbital movements, which became known as the Milankovitch cycles, cause variations of up to 25 percent in the amount of incoming insolation at Earth’s mid-latitudes
