Does earths gravity pulls objects toward its center?

Yes, Earth's gravity pulls objects towards its center. The force of gravity between Earth and objects on or near its surface causes everything to be pulled towards the center of the planet.


Where does gravity pull people and objects?

On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.


Explain how earths gravity affects objects that are on or near earth?

All mass attracts all other mass, thats a fact. The force due to gravity between the earth and another object, is dependent on their combined mass (earth and object), and the square of the distance between the centres of gravity.


Is the moon in the earths gravity?

Yes, all objects in the universe have gravity. The gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth.


What does the pull of Earth's gravity give to all matter on Earth?

The pull of Earth's gravity gives all matter on Earth weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. This weight is the reason why objects fall towards the Earth and why all matter on Earth experiences a downward force.


What is the force exerted on an object by the earths pull called?

The force exerted on an object by Earth's gravity is called weight. It is the force that pulls objects towards Earth's center.


Why gravity doesn't attract different objects arround us towards each other?

Because gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth. We and objects around do not create gravity fields so they do not pull anything, instead they are subject to Earths gravity and that's why things don't float off into the air!


What pulls objects toward earths surface?

Gravity pulls the earth and anything on its surface together, toward each others' centers.This is important to understand:-- There is a pair of gravitational forces between you and the Earth.-- One force pulls you toward the center of the Earth.The other one pulls the Earth toward the center of you.-- The forces are equal.Your weight on Earth is the same as the Earth's weight on you.


A force that attracts objects made of steel?

The force that attracts objects made of steel is known as magnetism. Steel contains iron, which is magnetic, and can be attracted by a magnetic field. Magnetism is a fundamental force that causes objects to be pulled towards a magnet.


What is the pull of earths gravity called?

You call it the "weight" of objects on Earth.


What produces the earths gravity?

Earth's gravity is caused by its mass (or rather its energy). Everything that has mass will passively generate a gravitational field, even you and me! (Although we are not by far massive enough for the gravitational attraction between us to be noticeable.) It is not caused by the Earth's magnetic field, or the Earth rotation (in fact the rotation counteracts gravity in some places).


What is a natural force of attraction exerted by the earth upon objects that pulls objects towards earths center is called?

The natural force of attraction exerted by Earth upon objects that pulls them towards its center is called gravity. It is responsible for phenomena such as objects falling to the ground and the motion of celestial bodies in orbit around the Earth.
