No, not at all. The gravitational force depends only on the masses involved, and on the distance between the masses. Magnetism should be considered a separate force - and it has no effect on gravity.

Earths magnetic field is not the cause of gravity?
No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces.

Can the magnetism of the earth keep us on the earth like gravity?
No. The material that people and most other objects are made of is not strongly affected by magnetic fields.
What is angle between magnetic field and gravitational field of the earth?
None. (At least through high school...!) As an additional note, the correspondence of the magnetic field with the spin axis is not well linked, and many bodies have spin and magnetic axes very far apart.
How does gravity change with location?
Take a simple bar magnet for example. Place an iron-like object near it and its attracted instantly. Place the object farther away and the object is influenced by less of the magnet's magnetic field. Similarly, the planet Earth, is a huge magnet. The magnetic field thus produced by the earth has an attraction of objects toward its center, i.e. gravity. The farther away from center of Earth you get(or the farther away from a magnet you put a metal object) the less attracted you or I become. So the higher in altitude from the surface of the Earth, the less of an effect gravity will have. Note that this change in gravitational effect is not a linear change, but logarithmic. In order to fully escape Earth's gravity, one would have to travel beyond Earth's Moon.
How does the earth's magnetic field function?
convection currents in the outer core (which is in liquid form) move the molten metal of the outer core around to create the magnetic field. The magnetic field then blocks certain rays from the sun.
Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
How does the sun create Earth's gravity?
It does not. Earth's gravity is the result of Earth's mass.
What keeps us from flosting away from earth?
gravity holds you down. The earth has a magnetic force, and the gravity pulls anything in the fireld to earth
How does gravity work on a pencil on earth?
The magnetic core of the earth pulls on the mass of the pencil.
How did the earth get the magnetic field?
Because there's a magnet in the centre of the earth which is known that it's the source of gravity. It's magnetic field is around the earth obviously.
Does the earth's magnetic field give information on the earth's interior composition?
The earth has electric currents in its structure, that create magnetic fields.
What is the atmosphere bound to the earth by?
The force of gravity binds the hydrosphere and lower atmosphere to earth.
Can the earth create its own gravity?
Yes. Earth produces its own gravity. That is what keeps us on the ground.
How do you use the word magnetic force in a sentence?
The magnetic force of the Earth's gravity holds the Moon in it's orbit.
What is created by the suns magnetic field?
Because the gravity of earth was closer together.
Is gravity caused due to magnetic field of earth or due to the mass of earth?
It is a bit more complicated than just the mass, but it has nothing to do with the magnetic field
Why do you think the sun's gravity does not pull the earth into the sun?
The pull of the Sun's gravity is needed to hold the Earth in orbit.
