Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what "center of gravity" is then. What's the difference between CoM and CoG?
CoM is just the average location of the mass of a body. Nothing to do with gravity, explicity.

The CoG is often defined as a point about which there is no torque due to gravity, which as long as the gravitational field is uniform is the same as the center of mass.
