The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.
The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
Gravity
GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.
The force that pulls everything towards the earth is called Gravity,but you only have half of the story.Gravity is responsible for the two forces that pull an object and the earthtowards each other.
All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.
Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun and for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth.

Swept off... by whom or by what exactly? - There is a force that pulls us towards the center of the Earth. It is called the force of gravity, and it pulls all objects close to Earth's surface with a force of about 9.8 N/kg. This force field is somehow caused by Earth's mass.
The force of gravity pulls down on all objects here on earth. If objects are allowed to fall, they accelerate downwards.
The net force is the sum of all forces - the vector sum. If one pulls north, one pulls south, one pulls east, and one pulls west, and each child pulls with the same force, then the vector sum of the forces on the toy is zero, and it behaves as if there were no force acting on it at all.

yes gravity pulls object toward the earth Here on Earth, the force of gravity does indeed pull objects down toward the Earth. But bear in mind that gravity is a universal force. On the planet Mars, for example, gravity pulls objects toward Mars. All objects in the universe have their own gravitational force, the strength of which depends upon how massive the object is. The sun is much heavier than the Earth, and the gravitational attraction of the sun is enormously greater than that of the Earth.
gravitational force is a basic force of nature, it presents everywhere and at all time. The gravitational force acts between any 2 masses in the universe and pulls them toward each other .It is the force that pulls objects toward earth.
