Answer:
Note: COG stands for Centre of Gravity and COM stands for Centre of Mass
Explanation:
The COM for a rigid body is a fixed position that does not change. The center of gravity can depend on orientation, and can be in a different place on the rigid body, when in a non uniform gravitational field. In such a situation, the COG will always be closer to the main attractive body than the COM.

Centre of Mass
When the objects are weighed according to their masses, it is known as the center of mass. In astrophysics, it is defined as the distribution of mass in space. The weight of an object in space turns to zero irrespective of the mass they have.
Centre of Gravity
Gravity is found in every object. The center of gravity is the point at which the act of gravity takes place. In humans, the mass is concentrated. In layman's language, the center of gravity is defined as the point at which the object's weight acts in response to gravity
