Is it true that the attractive force of a 70kg person exerts on the Earth is smaller than the force the earth exerts on the person?

No, it is not. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". The 70kg person is pulling just as hard on the Earth as the Earth is on the 70kg person, i.e. about 686 N.


Why is the Moon's gravitational pulling stronger than the sun's gravitational pulling?

It depends on the distance. The only reason that the moon exerts or pulls gravity more is because that the moon is very close to the Earth, while the Sun is very far far away.


Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?

Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.


If a book is hanging from a rope are the forces balanced or unbalanced and why?

The forces at work are balanced. Gravity is pulling the book (and the rope) down, and the rope exerts an equal and opposite force to keep the book suspended.

Is the earth affected by the force of gravity of the sun?

Yes. In fact, every object in the universe exerts a gravitational pull on every other object in the universe, but most of them are too small to notice.
