The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses.
(sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number.
(sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.
All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.
Yes, the Earth's gravitational force attracts objects towards its center. This force is proportional to the mass of the objects and the distance between them, causing objects with larger masses to experience a stronger gravitational pull towards 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.
Because every body no matter how small has mass. We don't notice the gravitational force between the people and things around us because the mass of the earth is so large in comparison.
=There is no weight in space is because Weight is how hard things (floor, ground, etc.) push up on us. Note, I said up and not down. The downward force is the gravitational force. The gravitational force depends on mass (the amount of material you are made of) and the gravitational field intensity. If the gravitational field intensity is lower, as it is on the moon, the gravitational force is lower for the same mass. ecause there is no gravity.=
Earth has more mass.
All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.
mass by acceleration, as in a large object that spins quite fast, like the earth, will have a lot of gravitational force.
Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses. It can be explained by Force=(Mass1*Mass2)/Distance. Everything is attracted to the earth because the earth has such a large mass. So on a small scale it is just about impossible to create gravitational force.

The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you while watching television, due to its large mass. The gravitational force between you and the Earth is much stronger than any other force in this scenario.
Look at the formula for gravitational force. It depends on BOTH masses - as well as the distance. In this case, Earth has a large mass, people have a small mass.Also, people just "move along" with Earth - if the Sun pulls on Earth and on us, we accelerate TOGETHER towards the Sun.
Yes, the Earth's gravitational force attracts objects towards its center. This force is proportional to the mass of the objects and the distance between them, causing objects with larger masses to experience a stronger gravitational pull towards Earth.
Every object has a (small) gravitational force that attracts other objects. The proportion of the Earth - human is so large that we sense this attraction force of the Earth. Gravity is the force which makes our feet stick to the ground!
All objects, big and small, exert gravitational pull. The moon, being very large, produces a large enough pull to affect the nearby Earth. The Earth also has a gravitational pull which holds the moon in orbit around us and keeps everyone on the ground.

This is technically not true. All forms of mass exert gravitational attraction on one another. However, since the Earth is billions of times more massive than most objects, the gravitational force of the Earth is commonly seen. The gravitational force between a stapler and a computer monitor is not large enough to make the two objects fly across a room to get to one another. However, both do exert a gravitational attraction on one another.
