Have you ever noticed that drops of water fall to the ground as soon as they form
in clouds ? Have you noticed how a car rolls downhill when the brake is released ?
Have you noticed how people who jump out of airplanes fall to the ground, slow if
they have parachutes and fast of they don't ? Did you ever notice that a diver
doesn't have to jump down off of the diving board ... how he only has to step
off the end of it, and he falls straight down to the water ? Have you noticed that
you don't have to pump the soda out of the bottle into your glass ... you only have
to hold the end of the bottle over the glass and tip the bottle, and the stuff pours
right down into the glass ? Have you noticed that skiers don't have to be pulled
down the mountain with cables, and that an airplane reduces engine power when
it needs to come down ? Finally, if you haven't noticed any of these things yet, I
just want you to think about this, but don't try it: What do you suppose would
happen if you rolled out of an upstairs window in your house ?
gravity is a force that pulls object toward each other
Things fall when you drop them because of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other. When you release an object, gravity pulls it toward the center of the Earth, causing it to fall.
The movement of an object toward the Earth solely because of gravity is called free fall. In free fall, the object is only under the influence of gravity and experiencing no other forces that would slow it down.
Yes, gravity will pull any two objects together in the absence of other forces. We don't notice this happening in everyday life because other forces such as friction are much bigger and mask the effects.
Well it is (probibly) gravity but as Isac Newton said there is no such thing as gravity because there is no way to detect gravity. What I mean is you can test it but there is no waves like sound or something.

GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.
Im pretty sure that is called gravity/attraction

Gravity pulls you and the Earth toward each other.

Anything in the universe that has mass, including you, me, a pencil, a piece of dust, all have gravity and are attracted to each other. Example: You are not just attracted toward Earth . . . the Earth is also attracted to you. From this can be said that objects with mass attract each other. It's just that you notice the gravity attraction from a large body like Earth because it is so huge. Also, Earth is close to you.
Earth has gravity rather than other planets.
We do not float into the air because of gravity, the force that pulls objects toward each other. Gravity keeps us grounded on the Earth's surface by attracting us toward its center. If gravity didn't hold us down, we would indeed float away into space.
We do notice the force of gravity between ourselves and other objects around us, but we are accustomed to it and it is relatively weak compared to other forces in everyday life. We only really feel the effects of gravity when there is a significant change, like falling from a height or being in a situation with zero gravity.
