Best Answer

We live on the planet Earth, which is a very large, massive object that exerts a strong gravitational attraction; as a result, we have weight and we do not float away into outer space.

The precise mechanism of how gravity works is still under discussion by theoretical physicists. Einstein thought it involved the bending of the four dimensional space-time continuum, but there are other theories as well.
