Best Answer

Gravity is an attractive force that is exerted by all matter. Any two objects with mass will be attracted to one another. The greater the mass of the object, the stronger its gravity at any given distance. Most objects do not have enough mass for their gravity to be noticeable, but Earth does, as do all planets. Any object near Earth will be pulled in the direction of Earth's center.
