The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.
If there is no air resistance, and you have two objects - one twice the mass of another, for example - the more massive object will have twice the weight. However, this will be compensated by the fact that it also has twice the inertia, since both weight and inertia depend on the mass. The final result is that - if air resistance can be negected - all objects fall with an acceleration of 9.8 meter/second every second.
A massive object has greater inertia. It requires more force to slow it down or change it's course. Example: It takes much more force to stop a train than it does to stop a car, only because the train has much greater mass.
The mass of the two objects and the distance between them control the force of gravity between them. The equation for the force of gravity between two objects is Fg=(GMm)/R2, so if two objects are very massive, the force will be greater, and if two objects are very close the force will be greater. The force of gravity is directly related to the mass of the objects and inversely related to the distance between them.the earth

If gravity is moving the objects toward each other, a massive body (i.e. the earth) will be in the way. If the objects are at the same ditance from this body, a greater force is exerted on object A.

Because it's both massive and close by. Newton's law of gravitation states that gravity becomes stronger the more massive the object, and the closer it is.
A more massive objects have a greater gravitational potential energy.

Because it is more massive and a lot bigger. Bigger and denser objects tend to create greater curvature or warping on the single fabric space-time, which we feel as the pull of gravity.
More massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
The masses of the objects and the distance between them determines the force of gravity between them. The more massive and closer together they are, the greater the force of gravity.
no.
A massive object has greater inertia. It requires more force to slow it down or change it's course. Example: It takes much more force to stop a train than it does to stop a car, only because the train has much greater mass.
