WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON GRAVITATION?
Answer Hello Pavneet, In principle temperature has no effect on gravity. Gravity only depends on the masses involved and their distance. If you take Einstein’s theory of relativity into account, you need to make a (small) correction on this statement, though. Temperature is a form of energy and energy E is equivalent to mass m (E=mc^2, with c being the speed of light) and thus energy also contributes to gravity. But for all systems outside elementary particle physics this additional mass that the thermic energy represents is several orders of magnitude smaller than the original nonrelativistic mass. I hope I could help you a bit.
