Gravity and magnetism are not the same thing. In fact, they are completely separate forces. Gravity is a force that acts between any two objects with mass. No matter what they are made of, both objects get pulled towards each other just because they have mass. The reason it seems like gravity only pulls you towards the earth is because the earth is so big that the pull from you on it isn't enough to do much to its motion.
Unlike gravity, which occurs between any objects, magnetism depends on specific properties of objects. Magnetism can either pull the two objects together or push them apart, depending on which way the magnets point. Most importantly, it depends on what is going on with the electrons in the material, since each electron is like a tiny magnet itself.

∙ 8y agoNo. The surface gravity of a planet is determined simply by its mass and radius. Planetary magnetic fields are more complicated, but generally arise from currents of some electrically conductive fluid in a planet's interior.

Does the earth hold onto the moon with magnetism?
Not magnetism, gravity.
What is super magnetism?
GRAVITY!
Is magnetism influenced by gravity?
No.
What is the difference between magnetism and gravity?
-- Magnetism only affects certain materials. Gravity affects all materials. -- Magnetism can repel or attract. Gravity only attracts. -- There are two kinds of magnetic characteristics. Each end of a magnetized object has one of them. There is only one kind of gravitational characteristic. Every bit of mass has it.
The interaction between electricity and magnetism?
Electromagnestism. The definition of electromagnestism is the relationship between electircity and magnestism!
What is the force of attraction that exists between two objects?
The force of Gravity. I thought it was magnetism
Who invented the force of gravity and magnetism?
Gravity and magnetism are not inventions, they are natural phenomena.
What 4 forces act from a distance?
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
Is gravity the result of magnetism?
No. No connection between the two has been found yet.
What would be a good title for gravity friction magnetism?
'Gravictism'? (Formed from Gravity, Friction and Magnetism)
Force of attraction between two bodies?
The force of attraction between two bodies is gravity. Or, magnetism...
The relationship between magnetism and electric current was discovered by?
Michael Faraday
Does the earth hold onto the moon with magnetism?
Not magnetism, gravity.
Does gravity or magnetism hold everything in place in solar the system?
Gravity. Magnetism is a fairly short-range force, but gravity goes on forever.
What is the relationship between gravity and the seasons?
No relationship at all.
Does magnetism have an effect on gravity?
No.
What is super magnetism?
GRAVITY!
