You're fishing for "gravity", but you only have half of the story.
Gravity is responsible for the two forces that pull an object and the earth
towards each other.
The gravitational pull acting on an object towards the earth's center.
Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.

The pull of gravity on an object is called weight. It is the force that acts on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.
everything, but most importantly the Sun.
The weight of an object on Earth is caused by the gravitational force between the object and Earth's mass. The gravitational force pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, giving them weight. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on it due to gravity.
The force exerted on an object by Earth's gravity is called weight. It is the force that pulls objects towards Earth's center.
Force applied towards you (pull) or force applied towards the object (push)
The measure of the Earth's pull on an object is called its gravity, which is commonly quantified as the object's weight. This force is determined by the mass of the object and the mass of the Earth, as well as the distance between them.
Gravity pulls everything towards the center of mass of an object. For example, on Earth, gravity pulls objects towards the center of the planet.
Because the gravitational pull of the Earth is much larger than the gravitational pull of lets say... a human. You could argue that on earth there is a gravitational pull to humans, but the Earth is over powering that pull. So the object is pulled down (to the surface of the Earth) rather than to you or me.
The measurement of the pull of Earth's gravity on an object is represented by a specific force called 'weight.' Weight is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).
