  • Understanding Gravity: What Objects Exert It?
    Every object in the universe exerts a gravitational force on every other object. It's just that the force is incredibly weak unless the objects are very massive.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Everything with mass exerts gravity: This includes planets, stars, galaxies, even you and me!

    * The more massive an object, the stronger its gravitational pull: This is why the Earth pulls us down to its surface, while the Moon's gravity is weaker, causing tides instead of pulling us up.

    * The closer objects are, the stronger the gravitational pull: This is why we are held to the Earth's surface, but not pulled towards the Sun.

    So, the answer is: All objects with mass exert a gravitational force.
