The "why" is really hard to answer; you may want to read about the General Theory of Relativity for one (partial) explanation. Warning: This is not for the faint of heart... some pretty advanced stuff.

However, the general rule is that every object attracts every other object. This force, called "gravitation", depends on the mass (more mass means more force), and on the distance (more distance means less force).

In outer space, magnets work the same way as they do on Earth. They create a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic objects. This is because the movement of charged particles in space generates magnetic fields, which can interact with magnetic materials.
