Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The force of gravity between you and Earth is greater than the force of gravity between you and a car because Earth has more MASS than the car. According to Newton’s third law of motion, the strength of a reaction force is EQUAL TO the strength of the action force.
Detailed explanation-2: -The gravitational pull of the Sun on the Earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the Moon, about 180 times as large due its much greater mass, as explained in class.
Detailed explanation-3: -Even though the sun is also very far away its gravitational pull on the planets (including Earth) is much stronger than the pull of the planets on each other because it so much larger than any of the planets.
