→Center of Gravity
An objects center of gravity is its (rigorously and mathematically defined) middle point. The force of gravity can be simulated to act here, and the object will tend to rotate about this point, making it crucial to finding rocket stability.

If you determine that your CG is too close to your CP and need to move it forward because you can't change the position of your CP, a common method is to add some mass weight to your nosecone.
