Weight, of the object is on dying bannanas.... quickly dying bannanas happy x-mas and!@#!@$!$#$#@4 you
The forces of gravity in both directions between the Earth and an object on it are equal,and act in opposite directions. The force from the object toward the Earth is what wecall the object's "weight" on Earth. The other force is so universally ignored that it isalso almost universally misunderstood. It acts in the direction from the Earth towardthe object, it is quite literally the Earth's weight on the object, and it is exactly equalto the other one.
If there are no other forces that counter it, gravity will cause an acceleration - basically it will change an object's velocity.
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
The cause of gravity is an on-going field of research. All that we know for certain are the effects that gravity has (i.e. mass distorting space in a way that attracts things towards it).
If you are in a skidding vehicle, higher gravity will cause shorter skidding length. If you throw an object up in the air, higher gravity will decelerate it more quickly than normal.

Gravity pulling the mass of the atmosphere toward the center of the earth. Atmosphere includes air, water vapor, etc.

A mass movement is caused by Gravity.
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.

Gravity
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
Clouds do not cause tides. Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon's gravity.
