Yes indeed. And it also means that the earth is attracted toward you !
The force of gravity draws every pair of objects together, with the same force on each member of the pair.

What is the 'pull' in space called?
The force that 'pulls' every object toward every other object is called universal "gravitation".It operates not only in space, but everywhere, period. It also attracts you toward the earth,and the earth toward you. It is the force that you usually refer to as your "weight".
Does the law of universal gravitation also mean that the earth is attracted toward the moon?
In a way, yes, since the moon does have some sort of weak gravitational pull, the Earth would be somewhat attracted to it.
Why does the earth orbit round the sun?
Because the force due to universal gravitation that attracts the earth and sun toward each otherbends the earth's motion into a curve.That prevents the earth from moving in a straight line, as it would if there were no force of gravity.
What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.
Is there anything named gravity?
The term gravity refers to the earth's gravitational pull. Gravitation is a universal force of attraction between all objects, making them pull toward one another.
Is universal gravitation is constant on moon as on earth?
Yes, the universal gravitational constant is believed to be the same across the whole of the universe.
How does the law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?
i don`t know that why i am asking you
What three things are involved in the law of universal gravitation?
force, created air,the gravitation on earth and the non gravitation in space because there has 2 be 2 because if not then there would only be one source gravitation or non gravition
What did Newton universal law of gravitation show?
Newton used the law of universal gravitation to show why the moon orbits the earth and does not take off in a straight line from earth. He also used it to show that Kepler's laws of orbiting bodies is true, that planets orbit the sun in ellipses etc.
How does newton's law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
