What is the force the earth uses to pull an object to its own centre?

Gravitation is the basis of the pair of equal forces between the earth andany other object that attracts each of them toward the center of the other.You "use" gravity to pull the earth toward the center of you with the same forcethat the earth "uses" to pull you to it. (your weight)

But after a brilliant statement in the first partof your question, you dropped the ball for the second part, and missed oneof the beauties of gravity.Yes indeed, gravity causes two objects to pull toward each other. That means thateverything is pulled toward the center of the earth by gravity, while the earth ispulled to the center of everything by the same force.Whatever you weigh on earth, the earth weighs the same on you. Is that cool or what !
