The simple answer is that gravity is actually an extremely weak force. A common fridge magnet can overcome the attraction of the entire Earth!
Gravity only becomes powerful for very heavy objects like planets and stars. Everyday objects as well as people are simply not massive enough to provide much of a force.
The reason why gravity (though weak) is the dominant force at long range is that gravity only adds to itself; adding more mass only makes it stronger and you cannot really stop gravity.
Compare this to the electromagnetic force; although it is much more powerful it acts on charges, and both positive and negative charges exist. Therefore you can stop the electromagnetic force by negating a charge by adding the opposite charge to it.
The Universe is largely electrically neutral, so long range electromagnetic forces do not appear.
What else can I help you with?
When did gravity come?
Gravity has been around as long as there has been mass. They come together; you can't separate them.
Why doesn't Earth fall toward us when we jump?
When you jump, Earth's gravity pulls you back down. The force of gravity acting on you is much stronger than your upward jump force, so you are pulled back towards the ground rather than Earth being pulled towards you. This is due to Earth's much larger mass compared to yours.
What does the law of gravity explain?
No matter what happens what goes up must come down. For example if you jump up into the air you have to come down because of the force of gravity. Same for space travel. If you jump on the moon you must come down.
What happens to the force between two objects begin pulled together by gravitational attraction?
The force (the same on each object) can be calculated from: force (newtons) = (G * m1 * m2) / d2 where: G = newtons gravity constant m1 = mass - object 1 m2 = mass - object 2 d = distance between centres of gravity > They will accelerate toward each other according to: Acceleration = force / mass As the distance between them decreases, the force of attraction will increase leading to greater rate of acceleration.
Which is not an example of gravity?
Nothing, gravity affects everything in the universe every yocto-second. You cant come up with a non example. Even anti-gravity is an example of gravity since your just reversing the pull of gravity to a push.
How did people come to know that earth was flat?
People back then thought earth was flat because when they walked they didnt know that they were going upside down or sideways because gravity pulled them down and they thought everything was just flat.
Where did gravity come from. What did Gravity come from. and When did Gravity come into being?
Of those three questions, the only one that makes any sense is the last one. Gravity doesn't come from a place (the "Where" part) or a thing (the "What" part). Gravity is strongly suspected to have come into existence at the time of the Big Bang, along with the other three fundamental forces. If the Theory of Everything people are right, at extremely high energies the forces combine; gravity would probably have been the first to separate out, at about one Planck time after the Big Bang (a "Planck time" is about 5 x 10-44 seconds).
How did asteroid belt get there?
The asteroid belt is theorized to be pieces of what was supposed to be a planet located between Mars and Jupiter. These pieces, or planetesimals, were unable to come together to form a larger planet because they were pulled apart by gravity.
Is it more painful to have your canine teeth pulled out if they are growing on top of other teeth?
Having a tooth pulled regardless of the location will hurt, most dentists and oral surgeons will prescribe Ibuprofen or Vicodin after tooth extractions. However, If it's a deciduous tooth (baby tooth) and your other canine is coming in, it would be smarter to have it pulled as to allow the permanent tooth room to come in. Otherwise your tooth could come in crooked.

What if your 7 year old brother pulled your pants down and pulled his down and rubbed you?
do a come back!

Does gravity come from the ocean?
Not only from the ocean. EVERY object in the Universe attracts EVERY OTHER OBJECT, through a force called gravity. So, the ocean attracts us, but so does every other part of planet Earth.
What happens to the force between two objects begin pulled together by gravitational attraction?
The force (the same on each object) can be calculated from: force (newtons) = (G * m1 * m2) / d2 where: G = newtons gravity constant m1 = mass - object 1 m2 = mass - object 2 d = distance between centres of gravity > They will accelerate toward each other according to: Acceleration = force / mass As the distance between them decreases, the force of attraction will increase leading to greater rate of acceleration.
Why are Meteors and other Satellites pulled towards Earth?
It most likely would not be the Earth's gravitational pull. More like the meteor was already shooting towards the Earth or near it enough to head to us. In that case, the Earth's gravity plus the meteor's speed minus the inverse force of the atmosphere equal if it would come down or not. Other than all of that, the poles of the Earth's magnetic force is what pulls meteors in, not the gravity, although it does help. :/
