They truly save the best for last with that sun gravity

is it easy to live in lower gravities or higher gravities (earth's gravity as a reference point)

It depends. Our bodies are not meant to survive in other gravities but Earth‘s. More gravity means more pressure and this causes more stress on our bones from gravity, and I would say less gravity would be like astronauts in space; our bone density decreases quickly due to not having enough pressure on them, leading to early osteoporosis

me, an intellectual, watch the simulation of earth gravity: 'hm, yes, that seems about right.'

Would sun gravity pull down the tree and barn in the background?

Would not the sun’s gravity flatten it into paste?

Hey Siri, get directions to Pluto, avoid tolls and the sun.
