Why do humans not get pulled towrd the sun instead of the earth?
because people have a smaller mass than that of earth, they are attracted into earth's gravitational field. Theoretically, Earth is moving closer to the sun every day, so we technically are moving towards the sun.
Everything attracted towards the center of earth but gravity is zero at the center of earth.why?
There is nothing special about the center of the Earth itself; the attraction is in that direction, due to the accumulated effect of the attraction from different parts of the Earth. At the center of the Earth itself, the gravitational attraction towards the left, for example, by some pieces of planet Earth, would be exactly compensated by gravitational attraction towards the right, by other pieces of the planet.
Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?
gravitational force
Why do things move towards the Earth but not toward people?
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.
How does gravity affect the launch of spacecraft from earth?
It prevents the spacecraft from being launched as gravity causes it to be attracted towards earth.
Why meteoroids fall into the earth?
They are attracted by the gravitational attraction of the earth.

Why does an objects gets attracted towards moon when it leaves the earth's gravitational field?
The moon orbits Earth because it is held there by Earth's gravity. The moon is going fast enough that it won't hit Earth, but at the same time is being pulled back in at the same rate it flies away. The same is true for why Earth itself doesn't fly into the sun. the sun is MUCH MUCH MUCH further away than the earth is, so it is attracted to earth because the difference in size and gravity favour the earth. If it was to be attracted to the sun, the sun would need to be bigger or closer (both of which it is doing at aconstant rate, but very gradually over a long perios of time)
What are synonyms for gravitational?
Your answer is: pulling towards the Earth
Why do meteoroid fall into the earth?
They are attracted by the gravitational attraction of the earth.
Why does a pin attracted by a magnet move upwards and not downwards towards the earth's gravitational pull?
because, the strength of the metal magnet is stronger then that of the earths gravity when held at a close distance.
Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?
gravitational force
When you step on a weigh scale what are you really measuring?
You are measuring the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts your mass towards the center of the Earth, and the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts the Earth towards you.

Is the earth in the sun's gravity?
Yes. The earth and the sun are mutually attracted by their gravitational fields. Which is why the earth stays in orbit round the sun
If a person is attracted to the center of the earth by N gravitational force the force of attraction of the earth toward a person is?
9.8 or 10 Newtons to be exact. The gravitational force stays the same as long as you are on earth.
