YES!!!

There is a gravitational attraction between any two bodies/masses.

However because your mass is so small compared to the Earth's mass we only feel that attraction as a one - way force.

It has been calculated that two emptysuper=tankers (100,000 tons each) moored alongside each other, with 3 to 4 feet of fender distance betwen, has a gravitational attraction of 1 lb(pound).

Sir Isaac newton, who gave up the Laws of Universal Dynamics (gravity) , when the apple fell on his head, perceived that not only did the apple fall to Earth, but the Earth , infinitesimally, fell towards the apple.

What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?

Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.


Why air pressure from earths atmosphere is not the cause of gravity?

Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.


When does gravity change?

Gravity is caused by mass. Everything causes gravity but the bigger it is and more mass it has the more pull is felt by its gravity. So you are pulling the earth towards you and the earth is pulling you. The earth is much bigger and has more mass, so it pulls much more. Gravity gets weaker the further away you get from its source. The earths crust does not have the same mass all over, so some areas have slightly less gravity than others. The differences between areas are very very small. The moon has only a quarter the mass of the earth, so gravity on the moon is a quarter of earths gravity.

Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?

If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.

What is the pulling force that the planet earth has?

The pulling force that the planet Earth has on objects is known as gravity. It is responsible for keeping objects on the surface of the Earth and is determined by the mass of the Earth and the distance of the object from its center.


What is the reaction force if Sun's gravity pulling on Earth is the action force?

The reaction force in this scenario is the Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
