If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
Gravitational force acts even if the 2 bodies are not in contact. It is a large distance force.
"Strictly speaking, yes. There is gravitational force of mutual attraction between every two mass objects, no matter how large or far apart they are. That's why there's a gravitational force between me and YOUR pencil too." Correct however, this proof comes from space, you see, on Earth, Earth has Gravity, and so anything that could have gravity is pulled to the Earth. When in space unseen dust particles get attracted to you, and that is why certain things, when they come back from space, need to be washed.
Simply the Gravitational Force
Gravitational, Electromagnetic, Small nuclear, and Large nuclear force..
F is inversely proportional to r*r . therefore the force will be reduced by the factor of 16th. hence the gravitational force will be 125N.
If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses. It can be explained by Force=(Mass1*Mass2)/Distance. Everything is attracted to the earth because the earth has such a large mass. So on a small scale it is just about impossible to create gravitational force.
It will be larger between the large objects. This force is equal to the universal gravitational constant times the two masses of the objects, all divided by the square of the distance apart the objects are.
Objects of greater mass have more gravitational pull.
The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.

The gravitational force between two bodies is given by GmM/r2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.674 to 4 sf), m and M are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them. Therefore, the gravitational force would be greatest where the mass of the star and planet in question are large and the distance between them is small.
Look at the formula for gravitational force. It depends on BOTH masses - as well as the distance. In this case, Earth has a large mass, people have a small mass.Also, people just "move along" with Earth - if the Sun pulls on Earth and on us, we accelerate TOGETHER towards the Sun.
Earth has more mass.
