they are both wrong. gravity is the amount of "attraction" force between to objects. Fg= G(m1m2/r^2). they pull at the same rate towards each other since the masses are then multiplied together. yes, the earth keeps the moon in orbit, but does that really mean that the earth pulls harder on the moon? no, physically they pull at the same rate as each other.

The two bodies attract each other as though their respective masses were concentrated at their centers, however, they rotate about a point that represents the center of mass for the pair. This is usually shown within the crust of the earth which has the more powerful gravitational pull. Both bodies accelerate because their velocities are constantly changing direction in circular paths.

the earth has more mass, so it pulls more.
