The gravitational pull of the earth pulls everything toward the center of the earth. Everything that has mass has some kind of gravitational pull. The larger the mass the larger the gravitational pull. Since nothing on earth has more mass than Earth everything is subjected to gravity. Since the sun has more mass than the Earth it is able to pull the Earth and it stays in an orbit (this is why Earth doesn't just fall into the sun).

every thing containing mass in the universe creates gravity. some more than others. the larger the object the more gravity it creates. the core of the earth being as large as it is, is just right to hold on to the surface of the earth. its not too much that it weighs us down so we can't walk but it is enough to keep us all from flying into space and freezing to death.

Gravity. Its the reason we fall to the earth.
There's nowhere to fall to, at least not close enough to overcome the gravity of earth anyway.
Mass warps spacetime, any object in warped spacetime is accelerated towards the mass that's causing the warpage.

"the force of gravity is always pulling us toward the center of the
earth. That is why we don't fall off the bottom or anything like
that--gravity always looks the same to us because we are on the top of a sphere being pulled to the center."

Gravity pulls everyone to the center of the earth, so in effect no matter where you are on the planet you are being pulled 'down'

We don't fall off because there are no edges .....
We're held down by gravity, and the Earth is round so there is nowhere to fall.

gravity can pull objects towards Earth.Like the moon, the moon is a round rock that orbits our planet.
