If the Sun's mass were reduced by one-half, the gravitational force exerted by the Sun would also be halved.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force \( F \) between two masses is given by the formula:
\[ F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \]
Where:
- \( F \) is the gravitational force,
- \( G \) is the gravitational constant,
- \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects,
- \( r \) is the distance between the centers of the two masses.
If we decrease the mass of the Sun (\( m_1 \)) to half of its original value, and if \( m_2 \) (like a planet or object affected by the Sun's gravity) and the distance \( r \) remain unchanged, the gravitational force will be directly proportional to the mass of the Sun. Thus, if the mass is halved, the gravitational force will also be halved.
So, the answer is:
**It would be halved.**

It sounds like your mind is wandering into some amusing territory! The phrase "If I fits, I sits" refers to the behavior of cats, who often squeeze themselves into snug spaces, and it's become a popular meme.
To humor your thought: If it doesn't fit, perhaps you could try to adapt or find a new spot! Either way, it's certainly a creative way of looking at distraction while you’re trying to study. If you find your mind drifting, it might help to take short breaks to reset your focus. Good luck with your schoolwork!
