The "why" is sort of tricky. You can think of every mass exerting a force on every other mass. According to General Relativity, a mass will actually distort spacetime in its surroundings, in such a way that this affects other masses.For more details on what we know and what we don't know, you may want to look up "Gravity" in Wikipedia, for example.

What actually causes gravity. What actually pulls the matter down?
Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved. Different objects attract each other, just because they have a certain amount of a property called "mass".Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved.

What does gravity do to two masses?
gravity will pull them together. All objects with mass have an attraction to each other.
What Does The Force Of Gravity Do?
The force of gravity attracts every pair of objects that have mass toward each other.
When two objects are near each other how would increasing one object's mass affect the other object?
The other object would be drawn more strongly to the one with increased mass. But whether that influenced their motion would depend on the actual forces involved. Since gravity is a "mutual" attraction, the effect on the two-object system could vary in ways other than the increased net attraction.
Which objects have the most gravitational force?
the objects with the greatest mass and the ones that are closest to other objects

When two objects of unequal mass orbit each other where is the center of mass?
In this case, the center of mass will be closer to the object with greater mass.
How does Mass impact on gravity?
The force of gravity that attracts two objects toward each other is directly proportional to the mass of each object.
The mass of most objects around you does not cause a force large enough to move objects toward each other because?
the mass of the object is too small
What is a barycenter?
That's the center of mass of two or more objects that orbit each other.
What theory is based on an idea that objects with mass move toward with each other?
Theory of gravity
What exists between any two objects that have mass?
Any two objects with mass will be attracted to each other by gravity, which is a force that arises purely from mass. Any mass is possessed of gravity, and any two masses will be drawn toward each other by this force. But note that gravity isn't strong enough to cause, say, a rock to be attracted to a brick wall. They are attracted to each other by their mutual gravity, but that mutual gravity cannot overcome the other forces acting on them. The gravitational forces acting in this case are very small when we look at the "big picture" here.

The force of gravity attracts every pair of objects that have mass toward each other.
Why cant you see objects moving toward each other?
The mass of the most objects is too small to cause a force large enough to notice. This is why you don't see the objects moving toward each other.
What happens to the pull of gravity as the distance between two objects increase?
The further two objects are from each other, the smaller the gravity, the equation for this is: Mass 1 X Mass 2 ---------------------- Distance Squared
Is The gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between the objects and each objects what?
Mass
