The planet Earth, and everything on the Earth including us, is in orbit around the sun; so yes, we are gravitationally attracted toward the sun, but we don't move closer to the sun because that attraction is counter balanced by the angular momentum that keeps us in orbit.

Why dont you see the pencils moving in towards each other?

Pencils are not attracted to each other through magnetic or gravitational forces. The pencils may appear stationary because the forces of friction between the table and the pencils prevent them from moving. Additionally, the force created by your hands placing the pencils on the table may also keep them in place.


Does weight change as gravitational force changes?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as the gravitational force changes (for example, by moving to a location with different gravity), the weight of an object will also change.
