Let me get this straight. If you put a hypothetical mass, say, ten
times the mass of the earth, in an orbit exactly opposite the earth, the
gravity under your feet will be countered by a certain amount by the
extremely large and distant mass over your head? In other words, to
simplify things, without extra masses...you weigh less at noon?
