How much pressure does gravity exert on your body?

The force of gravity between me and the earth is the same in both directions. I'm pulled down toward the center of the earth by a force of 190 pounds, and the earth is pulled up toward the center of me by a force of 190 pounds. I call that force "my weight on earth", and it's also the earth's weight on me.

What is the universal attraction between two objects that causes them to pull toward each other the earth pulls Avery thing to its center with its force?

You're talking about "gravity". 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 !
