Gravity is a subject on its own and not a part of Newton's famous 3 laws of inertia. Newton however, did present a theory of his own for gravity, according to which - masses attract each other in an inverse-square ratio. This is called "the inverse square law of universal gravitation."

Newton provided a very simple formula to work with, and today people still use it when they need to solve problems in classical physics. In the relativity theories, however, gravitation is treated completely differently.

All force come in pairs; gravity is just one of them. In the case of gravity, assuming you have a mass of 60 kilograms, Earth will attract you with a force of about 600 newtons. In this case, you will also attract Earth with the same force - 600 newton.
