The Earth is big enough to make its own gravity, so we get stuck to it when we are born. The Sun's gravity pulls on the Earth, but Earth is in a stable orbit, so it goes around the sun instead of falling into it. Neither the Earth's gravity or the Sun's gravity pulls on us so hard that we can't move or do normal things. The Moon's gravity also pulls on the Earth, but it is less strong, so it doesn't pull us up... it only creates the tides, affecting the water.

How many times more massive is the sun than the earth?
Actually the sun is about 332,000 times more massive than Earth. Chaisson and McMillan's "Astronomy Today", Volume II, Sixth Edition, Chapter 16 explains the mass as: "1.99X1030 kg with an Equatorial radius of 696,000km"
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Why does the moon orbit the earth intead of the earth orbiting the moon?
The mass of the earth is over 80 times the mass of the moon. A massive object will tend to capture less massive objects in its gravitational field.____________But consider this: if the moon happened to be the same general size and mass as earth, which would orbit which? You would observe them each orbiting around an invisible spot half way between them, their 'system' center of gravity otherwise called the 'barycenter'. They would effectively be orbiting around each other. As the moon becomes less massive, what determines the 'cut-off' between orbiting around each other and the smaller orbiting the larger? In fact it is still true that earth and moon are each orbiting their barycenter. Interestingly, the barycenter in this case is within the body of the earth, because the earth is so much more massive than the earth.
What planet has more water than land?
There is more water than land. Answer There is quite a bit more sea than land, and an approximate ratio would be 2/3 sea and 1/3 land.
What do cal two or more atoms stuck together?
A molecule
How much more massive is the Sun than Earth?
The Sun is about 333,000 times more massive than Earth.
Why do planets revolve around the sun instead of the earth?
The sun is so much more massive than the earth and therefore produces a far larger gravitational effect.
Why the sun didn't move around the earth?
Because the Sun is more massive than the Earth. If the Earth was more massive than the Sun, then it would.
Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
What is planet is 15 more time massive than earth?
None of the planets that scientist know is exactly 15 times more massive than earth, but the closet one is Saturn, it is 18 times more bigger than earth,
Which planet is more massive Earth or Venus?
Earth is more massive than Venus. Earth has a mass of about 5.97 x 10^24 kg, while Venus has a mass of about 4.87 x 10^24 kg.
Why is the earth has gravity?
every substance has gravity including the earth. more massive the substance is, more powerful its gravity
Is Earth bigger or moon?
The Earth is not only larger but much more massive than the Moon is.
Do Earth and the moon have the same mass?
No. Earth is about 80 times more massive than the moon.
Does Earth have more mass than Saturn?
No, Saturn is nearly 100 times more massive than earth..

Uranus
