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.
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.
On a magnet, "north" and "south" refer to the two poles that generate magnetic fields. The north pole of a magnet is the end that is attracted to the Earth's geographic north pole, while the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographic south pole. When two magnets are brought close together, opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north or south and south) repel each other. This behavior is fundamental to the principles of magnetism.
A magnetic needle has two poles, north and south. They point to the magnetic poles of the earth due to the attraction between positive and negative poles. There are no magnetic poles to the east or west, therefore a needle aligns itself north-south.
Yes, magnets are attracted to each other due to their magnetic fields interacting. Like poles (north to north or south to south) repel each other while opposite poles (north to south) attract each other.
Mars and Earth are the two obvious ones.
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other
This is the law of gravitation-two masses m and M attract each other, but the earth is so much bigger than anything built or moving on it, that such objects are attracted to the earth, without the earth being noticeably attracted to the objects. Therefore all objects are attracted to the earth and would if in freefall be accelerated at the rate of 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2. towards the earth.
Magnetism is the force with which objects are attracted or repelled to one another. Usually these objects are metals such as iron. Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or suspended the magnet lines up in a north - south direction. When the north pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of another magnet, the poles are repelled. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one another. The attraction repelling of two magnets towards one another depends on how close they are to each other and how strong the magnetic force is within the magnet. The further apart of the magnets are the less they are attracted or repelled to one another.

Objects that have mass are attracted to each other due to gravity. The force of attraction between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between them.
What is little known, is that the whole of the UK is a giant magnet. This is why poles are attracted to it!
The opposite poles of two magnets are attracted to each other due to magnetic force because of the alignment of their magnetic fields. This alignment creates a force that pulls the opposite poles together, resulting in attraction.
Lightning is attracted to tall objects, such as trees, buildings, and poles, due to the difference in electric potential between the clouds and the ground. It is also attracted to conductive materials that allow the electricity to flow easily, such as metal.

• Iron • Cobalt • Nickel
Any of the two poles will work. It will induce magnetism in the iron.
