It is the Earth, the largest mass of matter. The Sun and larger planets are so far away that their gravitational attraction on objects on Earth is extremely small.

Gravitational force exerts an attraction on objects.


Are you presently exerting a gravitational force on the earht?

Yes, I am exerting a gravitational force on the Earth, but it is incredibly minuscule due to my small mass. The force is too weak to have any noticeable effect on the Earth's motion or other objects.


What is an gravitational force exerted on an object?

The gravitational force exerted on an object, according to classical mechanics, is the product of the gravitational constant, the object's mass, and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force divided by the square of the magnitude of the position vector starting from the object exerting the gravitational force and pointing to the object which we are measuring the force exerted onto. And all of this is times the negative of that same position vector.


What has the greatest force of gravitational attraction?

A black hole has the greatest force of gravitational attraction. Even light rays can't escape.


Is mass a measure of gravity's pull on an object?

No, mass is the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. The force of gravity on an object depends on both its mass and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force.


What would happen to the force between two objects being pulled together by a gravitational attraction?

Nothing, the force in question IS gravitational attraction.


When you stand on a bathroom scale it displays the blank the earth is exerting on you?
