Is it true that moon pulls on the earth with one-sixth the force that the earth exerts on the moon?

No. Gravitational force is present between every two mass bodies, and the force on each body is the same.

What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?
GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.
How much force does a person in outer space exert on earth if the earth exerts 850 N on the weightless person?
The person in space exerts a force of 850 N on the earth. The fact that the person is weightless has no bearing on this question. Ever since Newton enunciated his three laws of motion we have known that action and reaction are equal and opposite. If the earth pulls him with 850 N, then he pulls the earth with 850 n.
Why do you weigh more on Mt Everest?
Mt. Everest is made of stone which is really dense so the earth has more mass in that area. The more massive an object is, the more gravitational force it exerts. Your weight is the force with which the earth pulls on you.
What is a force that pulls on an object toward the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.

How is it true that that if earth pulls on a grapefruit with a force of 1 newton the grapefruit also exerts a force of 1 newton on Earth?
It is true. Such forces always come in pairs. (This is related to Conservation of Momentum.) Of course, the effect of such a force on the Earth - the amount Earth accelerates, if you release the grapefruit - will be much less than the effect on the grapefruit (by Newton's Second Law).
The force that pulls falling toward earth is called?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object. The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the forces of gravity.
