All objects within the universe attract all other objects through gravity. as distance increases this attraction lessens to an insignificant amount, however the force is still there. therefore the Earth's gravitational field's range is limitless.

Actually you cannot see gravity and it's form. You can only notice or experience that there is gravity. A better example of this is that when you throw up things in the air say for example a piece of stone, it goes downward or it falls down, therefore we can see that there is gravity. Gravity is a force that keeps everything attracted towards the center of the earth.

Since we can't see fields ... like electric, magnetic, or gravitational ones ... we
draw pictures of them with 'lines of force'. Each point on one of the lines shows
the direction that an object at that point would move, because of the field that's
acting on it.

If it's a magnetic field, the object we imagine is a tiny magnetic pole. If it's an
electric field, we imagine a tiny positive charge. And if it's a gravitational field,
then the object is a tiny mass.

If you want to draw a picture of the Earth and its gravity field, it's just a solid ball
with straight lines sticking out of it everywhere and extending out into space.
Something like a cactus pear (sabra) with infinitely long spikes. Each line is perpendicular
to the ground where it comes out, and if you were to follow some of them back down
into the ground, you'd discover that they all meet at the center of the Earth.

Technically, each line has a direction ... it points down, into the ground, toward the
center of the Earth. The lines are perfectly straight, they just keep going out into space,
spreading apart from each other as they get farther out, no two lines ever cross, and
they never stop.

A small mass, placed at any point on one of the lines, feels a force in the direction of
the line, toward the center of the Earth. The closer together the lines are at that place,
the stronger the force is.

like that of a bar magnet, with the north pole at earth's geographic south pole.

It looks like a ball and it shines, the green bits are the countries and the dark blue bit is the sea. If you want to see it you can download Google earth.

Go outside onto the grassy ground. Then look down. There you go, the earths Crust front row seats. The earths crust is the farthest outer layer of the earth.
