Would you say that in your analogy, that it is Gravity that is "attaching" the Earth to the Sun?

Of course it is gravity attaching the earth to the sun.

It does NOT matter the speed of gravity, and there is NO way to measure it from that relationship, because the earth is ALWAYS at a set distant. Therefore measuring the speed of gravity from it is useless, because there is NO change to measure, the earth is at a set distance and will reamin there.

A better way of looking at it is that the Earth is falling around the Sun like the moon is falling around the Earth.
