What is the name of the force that is pulling you down when you stand on a set of bathroom scales?

Gravity . . . pulling you down.
The scale . . . pushing you up.
If these two forces were not equal, then there would be a net force on the bottom
of your feet, either upward or downward, and you would be accelerating.

When you stand on a bathroom scale what does it display the earth exerting on you?
Newer scales like digital and spring scales, measure the force your body exerts on the pad you're standing on, which is your weight. The scale then divides your weight by gravity to give you your mass.
What definition of gravitational force?
The pulling force by earth with the help of which we can stand and do not float is the gravitational force.
When you stand at rest on a bathroom scale how does your weight compare with the support force by the scale?
The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.
How do you measure the force of gravity?
By far the easiest method is with the use of a scale. For example, when you stand on a bathroom scale, it displays the magnitude of both forces of gravity between you and the Earth.

When you stand on a bathroom scale it displays the blank the earth is exerting on you?
The force.
What if two tug of war teams were pulling at the same force?
It would be the same as if one tug of war team was pulling against a tree.
When you stand at the rest on a bathroom scale how does your weight compare with the support force by the scale?
The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.

According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If Theres Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?
To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object. Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'. When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling. Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces. What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.
