The concept of direction in relation to gravity is complex.
Gravity is a property of matter and can be visulised as a force pulling towards the centre of mass of that matter.
Thus YOU as a body of matter have a mass and a gravitational force of your own.
However, on the Earth, your mass is much smaller than Earth's so you feel Earth's gravity pulling you towards its centre.
On the Moon you woud feel yourself being pulled towards the centre of mass of the Moon.
Thus as you can see what happens applies depends on where you are - but - it is always towards the centre of mass.

What is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and move 4m in the direction of force?
what is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and we move 4 m in the direction of force
What happens if the force is supplied on different kinds of substance?
If you apply a force to the outward or inward direction on a door or a window it will move to the direction of the applied force. If you apply the force towards the direction of the hinge then the door will not move. If you are superman then it will break. If you apply the force to opposite sides of a can then the can gets pressed. There are countless examples which are impossible to mention unless you can be specific in your approach to your imagination.
What work is done when we apply a force of 5n and move in the direction of the force 2n?

When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement of the force does work?
When you apply force at an angle to the direction of movement, two components result; F.D + FxD. F.D = -FDcos(angle) called work and FXD = FDsin(angle) called torque.
When can work be negative physics?
If you apply force in the same direction an object moves, the work on the object is positive.If the force is in the opposite direction as the direction the object moves, the work on the object is negative.

A force that keeps planets in orbit?
Centripetal Force.That force is, of course, supplied by gravitional force.
