All objects in the universe exert some force of gravity?
Mass exerts gravity or according to relativity mass bends space. Not everything has mass though, light does not...
Do Objects of any size exert a gravitational force.?
If the object having some mass then for sure it exert a gravitational force.The more the mass the more will be gravity.
Does gravity exert the same force on all falling objects?
No. Gravity can be thought of as a force, but that is due to its effect on anything that possesses mass and/or energy. The effect that gravity exerts on any object is proportional to the amount of mass that is responsible for the presence of gravity and is also proportional to the amount of mass possessed by the object experiencing that gravitational presence. Therefore a gravitational field will exert a greater 'force' on a greater mass. However, mass also possesses the characteristic of inertia, which is a measure of resistance to any change to a state of motion - which effectively is a resistance to the effect of gravity. Inertia is also proportional to mass. What this means is that the greater the mass, the greater the pull it experiences due to gravity but at the same time, the greater is its resistance to that pull. Hence all falling objects experience the same acceleration due to the effect of gravity which is not the same as the force. All objects fall at the same rate. ========================= (Note: Gravity does not exert the same force on all objects, which is the reason why big people "weigh" more than smaller people do on the same planet.)
What is the relationship between the mass of two objects and the gravity they exert on one another?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses.
The force of attraction that all objects exert on each?
Gravity.

Is there gravity in space and why?
Yes. Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. It increases with the mass of the object in question and decreases with distance from it. Planets, stars, moons, and galaxies all exert a gravitational pull.

Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?
Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.
What is the relationship between the mass of two objects and the gravity they exert on one another?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses.
Which object does gravity exert a greater force on?
The one with the greatest mass that is closest to the surface of the Earth.
The force of attraction that all objects exert on each?
Gravity.
What is gravity and how does it affect your mass?
Gravity is the force all objects exert on all other objects. For example, the earth's mass exerts force on your mass and attracts you to earth while your mass attracts the earth (slightly) to you. Even though gravity is an interaction between mass, it doesn't actually affect mass. Your mass on the moon, which has less gravitational pull that the earth, is no different that your mass on Jupiter, which has more gravitational pull than the earth. What changes is your weight, which is equal to your mass multiplied by the gravitational pull you are experiencing.
Does Earth exert gravity?
Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational field, so yes, earth exerts one.
Does this planet have gravity?
All mass produces a gravity field. All planets have mass. Therefore all planets have gravity.
Why when you hold a 5 kg mass at an angle of 10 degrees to the vertical do you exert much less force than when you hold it at 70 degrees?
The downwards force acting on the mass due to gravity will always be given by the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity. As this will not change due to the angle at which you hold it, you will have to exert the same force in both scenarios to hold the mass steady.
