Best Answer

Because the gravitational pull of the Earth is much larger than the gravitational pull of lets say... a human. You could argue that on earth there is a gravitational pull to humans, but the Earth is over powering that pull. So the object is pulled down (to the surface of the Earth) rather than to you or me.
