Which type of force causes a boy jumping off a chair to move toward Earth?
As soon as he's free of the chair and out in 'space', the boy begins accelerating toward the Earth, and the Earth begins accelerating toward the boy, because of the equal, mutual forces of gravitation that attract them to each other.
What is the natural force that causes an object move toward the center of Earth?
gravity
What force pulls items toward the earth?
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.

What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.

Does the sun make the earth's gravity?
Gravity causes a 'mutual' force between every two masses, that attracts each of them toward the other one. The mutual force between the sun and earth is what keeps the earth in its orbit around the sun.
Measure of the force of gravity on something?
The force of gravity that attracts an object on Earth toward the Earth is the object's weight on Earth. The force of gravity that attracts the Earth toward an object on it is the Earth's weight on the object. Both forces are always there, and they're equal.
