Earth attracts objects because we have gravitational field, which draws objects in.

How many things in the universe have gravity?

Anything in the universe that has mass, including you, me, a pencil, a piece of dust, all have gravity and are attracted to each other. Example: You are not just attracted toward Earth . . . the Earth is also attracted to you. From this can be said that objects with mass attract each other. It's just that you notice the gravity attraction from a large body like Earth because it is so huge. Also, Earth is close to you.


Do you attract the earth or the earth attract you Which is attracting with a large force you or the earth?

Both you and the Earth exert gravitational forces on each other, but the force from the Earth is significantly larger due to its massive size. While you attract the Earth, the gravitational pull you feel is primarily due to the Earth's much greater mass. Thus, the Earth is effectively the stronger attractor in this interaction.


Why does acceleration differ in moon and earth?

everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.


What planet attracts other objects through gravity?

All planets have gravity, and will attract other objects. The strength of the attraction is determined by the mass of the planet and the distance to the object.


What objects experience large gravitational forces?

Large dense objects, and the closest objects.

Why heavy matter on earth does not attract lighter ones towards them over short distances having attractive charge?

This is because no matter how large objects on earth may seem, they are nothing compared to the size things have to be to have significant pull on things. Objects would have to be many hundreds of miles across to get any sort of influence.


Should the US keep searching for Near Earth Objects?

Yes because large asteroids heading for earth are Near Earth Objects and if they were to hit many people can lose their lives.


Why do the planets in your solar system revole around the sun?

Objects attract towards the most massive and nearest source of gravitation because of gravity. Objects are pressed away from such an object by dark energy. Such a combination causes relatively large objects to orbit other objects.

What are electromagnets used to record information on?

Electromagnets...electromagnets are magnets attract, or pull, some kinds of metal objects. Stronger magnets exert a greater pull on the objects they attract. Sometimes it would be useful if you could turn off a magnet when you did not want it to attract objects. That is what an electromagnet can do. Some electromagnets .in power plants and factories electromagnets are very large. You can make a small, simple electromagnet in school or at home.


Why objects discharge to earth?

Objects discharge to Earth because the Earth is a large reservoir of electrical charge, and when an object becomes charged due to various reasons (friction, induction, etc.), it seeks to reach a neutral state by transferring or discharging its excess charge to the Earth, which can effectively absorb or neutralize the charge due to its size and conductivity.


What is the force of gravity?

It is the force of attraction existing between any two objects in the Universe that possess mass. It is the most important and weakest force. It is the weakest force because its effect is seen only when there are relatively large masses involved. e.g Sun(huge mass) Earth(large mass) Force of gravity keeps Earth in orbit around the sun. Earth (large mass) we (tiny mass compared to the Earth). Force of gravity keeps us bound to the Earth. It is an attractive force that is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.


What force is most easily observed in the behavior of large objects?

Simply the Gravitational Force


If the earth is 81 times the mass of the moon then why don't objects 81 times smaller than our body weight orbit us?

1). Because you are not the earth.2). They would if you were in space, free of the nearby influence of the earth and its large mass.

Can earth attract other planets?

Yes. Every thing that has mass (on Earth, we call it 'Weight') attracts every other thing with mass. It is correct to say that any two things with mass attract each other. For instance, the Earth pulls on you because of the force of gravity, but you pull on the Earth right back - only by a tiny amount, but still . . . The Earth and Sol, the Sun, attract each other, and both attract the Moon. The same way, Earth and, say, Mars or Venus attract each other, but only by a relatively small amount due to the large distances between them. +++ Mass is not weight! Whatever the Space Station's mass if it could be landed, it has the same mass in space, but there it is weightless, or practicably so.


Earths gravity is large because earth has a large?

Mass.
