Yes, it does. Earth has a gravitational force equal to 9.8m/s2. In fact, anything that has mass has it's own gravitational force, though you certainly wouldn't be able to notice this occurring between yourself and other objects in your day-to-day life. This is because the force that your body exerts (or the force exerted by your cat, your car, a large ship, etc) is so small, you cannot perceive it.
For example, if you were sitting beside your cat, at a distance of 10 cm, and if you weighed 50kg and your cat weighed 5kg, the gravitational force between the two of you would be 0.0000016675N; You would be "accelerating" towards your cat at 3.33x10-8m/s2, and your cat would be "accelerating" towards yourself at 3.33x10-7m/s2. Since this force is so small, it would not be perceivable, and other forces (such as the downward force of gravity exerted on you and your cat by the Earth, the force of friction between yourself and whatever you are sitting on, and the force of friction between your cat and whatever your cat is sitting on) would likely be significantly stronger, thereby cancelling out the gravitational force between yourself and your cat.

∙ 15y agoyes, because it pulls us down. it gives us the freedom to choose whatever we want to do. if there is no gravity,we can't do things in orderly. it always go in pairs,we and gravity,and in the same sense,upon leaving earth there is no gravity. it can't interact with us if we are too far away long like magnets do. :)

∙ 8y agoNo. Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity of all the planets in the solar system, more than twice the surface gravity of Earth.

What is caused by the pulling of the moon's gravity?
high tidesProbably the most notable affect of the Moon's gravity, here on the Earth, are the tides.
Is gravity the most powerful force on earth?
No. Water is the most powerful thing on planet Earth. Not God, love, your soul, gravity, inertia..etc. Quite simply and scientifically the most powerful force on Earth is WATER.
What is the gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
Does earth have strong or weak gravity?
Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.
How did lunar rover stay on the moon with out gravity?
The moon most certainly does have gravity. It is weaker than the gravity on Earth, but still very noticeable.
Does Uranus have the most gravity?
no, it's only 86% of the gravity on Earth

What did planetesimals do as earth formed?
As earth formed, most planetesimals were attracted by the earth's gravity and coalesced with earth.
What is the gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
Does air produce gravity?
All matter, including air has a gravitational pull. The gravity we feel, though is not a product of Earth's atmosphere, which has a tiny mass in proportion to the planet itself. Most of the mass of Earth is rock and metal. That is the source of most of Earth's gravity.
How does earth get gravity?
All objects have gravity. The strength of that gravity is directly proportional to the object's mass. For most objects, their gravity is too weak for us to notice, but Earth has an enormous amount of mass and so has fairly strong gravity.
How does the moon crontrol gravity on earth?
No. The earth has its own gravity. The lunar gravity causes tides on earth, but does not control earth's gravity.
Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?
No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.
Why does earth have the most amount of gravity?
The amout of gravity is directly related to the mass of the body, since the earth has more mass it also has more gravity than the moon just like Jupiter has more mass than earth so it has more gravity.
Does earth have strong or weak gravity?

What is the effect of gravity on earth?
It compresses it. This is the reason why the Earth is the most dense planet in the Solar System.
