Explain why the following reasoning is wrong. “The Sun attracts all bodies on Earth. At midnight, when the Sun is directly below, it pulls on you in the same direction as Earth pulls on you; at noon, when the Sun is directly overhead, it pulls on you in a direction opposite to Earth’s pull on you. Therefore, you should be somewhat heavier at midnight and somewhat lighter at noon.”
