Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Gravity is the force that attracts something towards the center of the earth or towards any other physical body that has mass. It affects us every single moment of our lives from the day we’re born. Which best describes why gravity on Earth has a stronger attraction with you than the Sun does?
A
Earth has more mass than the sun.
B
The sun has more mass than Earth.
C
Earth has more magnetism than the sun.
D
Despite being less massive, Earth is much closer.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On Earth, gravity pulls all objects “downward” toward the center of the planet. According to Sir Isaac Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational attraction between two bodies is stronger when the masses of the objects are greater and closer together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational force is an attraction between masses. The greater the size of the masses, the greater the size of the gravitational force (also called the gravity force).

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravity is a force of attraction between two objects. Dropping objects on the moon has a different outcome than dropping objects on Earth. Mass and distance affect gravity by causing object to land on the ground at the same time when dropped at the same time and distance.
