Both.

-- The gravitational force is always actually a pair of forces.

-- They act in both directions, on both bodies, and they're equal.

-- Whatever your weight is on Earth, that's also the Earth's weight on you.

-- When you jump out of an airplane, you accelerate toward the Earth, and

the Earth accelerates toward you.

(Of course, since the Earth's mass is something like 59,740,000,000,000,000,000,000 times

as much as your mass, your acceleration is 59,740,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as much

as the Earth's acceleration toward you.)

Do you attract the earth or the earth attract you Which is attracting with a large force you or the earth?

Both you and the Earth exert gravitational forces on each other, but the force from the Earth is significantly larger due to its massive size. While you attract the Earth, the gravitational pull you feel is primarily due to the Earth's much greater mass. Thus, the Earth is effectively the stronger attractor in this interaction.


Is the sun a magnet to earth?

Not a magnet, no. But it does attract the Earth and this is due to gravity.


Is there any place on earth where earth does not attract things towards it self?

Do magnet can attract earth?

May be it may. But it need to be really big enough to attract there magnetic poles. But the gravitation of earth attracts the magnet towards its centre or to say towars the ground.


Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?

In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.


Why does the earth does not repel a human body but attract towards itself?

its because of Earth's mass is greater than that of a body


Can earth attract other planets?

Yes. Every thing that has mass (on Earth, we call it 'Weight') attracts every other thing with mass. It is correct to say that any two things with mass attract each other. For instance, the Earth pulls on you because of the force of gravity, but you pull on the Earth right back - only by a tiny amount, but still . . . The Earth and Sol, the Sun, attract each other, and both attract the Moon. The same way, Earth and, say, Mars or Venus attract each other, but only by a relatively small amount due to the large distances between them. +++ Mass is not weight! Whatever the Space Station's mass if it could be landed, it has the same mass in space, but there it is weightless, or practicably so.


Will not the stone attract the earth when it is falling?

Yes, definitely the stone will also attract the earth when it is either thrown up or is falling down. But the mass of the stone is very small as compared to that of the earth, and since the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object, the force with which the stone attracts the earth will be negligible as compared to the force with which the earth attracts the stone.
