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.
Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?
More space dust is attracted to the Sun than to Earth because the Sun's gravity is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravitational pull can reach and capture particles from farther away in space. Earth's gravity is not as strong as the Sun's, which is why less space dust is drawn towards our planet.
What are 2 examples of earth's gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of Earth keeps objects and people on the surface rather than floating off into space. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the tides in the oceans by attracting water towards the center of the planet.
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.
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 are objects on earth not attracted to the two poles of the earth?
That is not correct.Objects on Earth are attracted to Earth, AND they are attracted to one another. The magnitude of their attraction to one another is usually quite small, due to their small size.

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 direction does earth gravitational force act?
The Earth's gravitational force acts towards the center of the Earth.
What pulls gas molecules in the atmosphere toward the Earth?
Gravity is the force that pulls gas molecules in the atmosphere towards the Earth. The Earth's mass creates a gravitational pull that acts on all objects, including gas molecules, causing them to be attracted towards the Earth's surface.
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 astronauts don't get attracted towards the gravitational force between sun and earth?
Just like every other bit of mass in the universe, an astronaut in space is attracted by gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and every other body in the solar system, as well as toward the other astronauts traveling with him. The astronaut's motions are the result of the combination of all of these gravitational forces. Don't forget that an astronaut on a "space walk", floating "motionless" outside the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station, is still in orbit around the Earth, and also in orbit around the Sun. All of that is the result of gravitational forces between him and the Earth, and between him and the Sun.
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.
What are 2 examples of earth's gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of Earth keeps objects and people on the surface rather than floating off into space. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the tides in the oceans by attracting water towards the center of the planet.
