Yes it is true. There is no way to turn gravity off or shield anything from it,
so everything is always being pulled toward everything else by gravity.

Why at height the artificial sateillte not pulled toward the earth?
The satellite is being pulled by the earths gravity all of the time, but the satellite also has an orbital velocity, meaning that is is travelling at high speed. These two opposing forces balance out, the 'sideways' speed of the satellite wants to take it away into space, but the gravity of the earth is always pulling it in. The satellite maintains its speed as there there are no frictional forces to slow it down in space, so it maintains an orbit.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
If a satellite is travelling in orbit around the earth and the gravitational force drops to nil what will happen to the satellite?
Without gravity, the satellite will travel in the same direction it was going when gravity went to nil. This is due to the object's momentum, and the satellite will go off into space. And if the gravitation were nil to begin with, there would have been no orbit in the first place. The question is problematic, since planets will always have gravity. Picture a ball on a string that is being whirled around by someone. If the string snaps, the ball continues to move in the direction it was going at the moment the string snapped. It flies off in a tangent, and the satellite will do the same thing if gravity is suddenly reduced to zero.
What are two factors that determine the size of the force of the gravity?
-- the massses of the two masses that are being pulled together by gravity -- the distance between them
What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun surface by gravity?
The orbital speed of the planets prevent this. The planet's ARE all failing towards the Sun but their horizontal speed means they always miss.

What force happens when you're falling in a roller coaster?
I believe your answer would be gravity. You are always being pulled by the Earths gravitational force, and it is what keeps your feet on the ground, and fall down if you are not conected to something.
What would happen if their is no gravity?
If there was no gravity your eyes might have the chance of your being pulled out of your head if not the proper gear is with you also would be lifted from the ground because you will not have the gravity to hold you down
Gravity acts on any two objects with mass any where in the universe?
There is Gravity everywhere that man knows of. Gravity is created by the mass of any object, even you and me. However our gravitational pull is too small for someone to feel it. Side note: The reason astronauts are "weightless" is because of how they orbit the Earth. They are being pulled out, kind of like you are pulled when you turn a corner fast, but they are also being pulled by the Earth.
What force would pull two spheres together?
They are being pulled by the force of gravity
