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 force

with 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.

The Earth attracts EVERYTHING in is range


Why does earth attract a bear with more force then it attracts a squirrel?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on their mass and distance from each other. Earth attracts a bear more strongly than a squirrel because the bear has more mass, which results in a greater gravitational force. The squirrel, being smaller and lighter, experiences a weaker gravitational pull from Earth.


Why the earth attract the moonexplain.?

It's not just Earth that attracts the Moon. Every object in the Universe attracts every other object. The force is called gravity, and depends on the masses and the distance. More mass --> more force. Greater distance --> less force.


Why does earth attract a magnet if magnetic force is greater than the gravitation force?

Earth attracts a magnet because both Earth and the magnet have mass. The force of gravity acts between any objects that have mass.


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.


Why does earth attract near by objects with significant force?

A force called "gravity" makes that any mass attract any other mass. The larger the masses, the stronger will the force be. The greater the distance, the smaller will this force be.


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 gravity attract things towards the surface of the earth?

Gravity attracts things toward the core, or centre, of the Earth, that's how everything is able to stay on the surface.


How does the pull of gravity change when you get farther from the earth?

As you get farther from the Earth, you attract the Earth with less gravitational force, and the Earth attracts you with less gravitational force. The two forces remain equal as they both decrease.


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


Does the object weigh more on the earth or moon?

It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
