Yes, like others have said, anything with mass exerts some gravitational force. The equation to figure how much is
F = (G*(m1+m2))/d^2
G is universal gravitational constant
m1 mass of object 1
m2 mass of object 2
d is distance between the objects
However, of the four forces in nature:
electromagnetism
the strong nuclear force
the weak nuclear force
gravity
Gravity is by far the wimpiest of the lot.
"The electromagnetic force between two electrons is about a million million million million million million million (a 1 with forty-two zeros after it) times bigger than the gravitational force."

very sturdy question once again. i imagine gravity only attracts for particular. If something receives repelled then there would nicely be different clarification agree? Gravity and magnetism have similarities. Now they are not precisely similar yet actually have similarities. Now a magnetic siubstance may have poles. Like poles repel, opposite poles entice, bl bla, all of us studied that throughout the time of our straightforward college physics. there are certain adjustments between gravity and magnetic forces in spite of the indisputable fact that there are similarities too. as an celebration earth's gravity will entice any textile in the route of it. yet a magnet can entice only iron elements. So gravity is extra generalized in it really is software the position as a magnet is amazingly certain for iron elements. Which tells us that a magnet will be a constrained type of "gravity relatives of forces" or gravity would nicely be an unrestricted relatives of "magnetic relatives of forces" Your question is somewhat interesing. See I did my physics few many years in the past, on the on the spot i'd have lengthy previous deep into the books and literature and tried to go back out with extra certain and extra ideal answer to this question. yet now i'm far off from physics for lengthy lengthy time period. So i will only supply a imprecise generalized solutions on your questions.

The electromagnetic force that makes magnets attract ferrous metals is in no way related to gravity. Magnetism is an entirely different kind of thing from gravity.
It is correct to say that if a magnet is a massive object it will be acted on by gravity: if you hold it out and drop it it will fall.
It is not correct to say that "anything that has mass has gravity." Gravity is not something you have. It is something that acts on you. Gravity acts on all objects.

Yes, as long as an object has mass, that means it weighs something, it does exert a force of gravity. However, this is to small to notice, unless its in the neighbourhood of very large object, such as the earth. The magnetic force however is an entirely different force then the gravitational force.

Anything that has mass also has gravity. Does your magnet have mass? The force of gravity exerted by any mass can be computed by multiplying the mass of the object by the universal gravity constant.

Yes, but not due to its magetism but due to its mass only. If you take any material other that magnet having same mass it will also have same gravity force.

only insofar as its mass will exert a gravitational force. at the moment its not theoretically possible to combine theories of electromagetism and gravity. they are linked, but we don't know how...yet.
