Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction acting between the objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Every particles attracts every other particles in the Universe according to Newton's law of gravitation. This is due to the gravitational force acting between the objects.

The force of gravitation depends on the masses on the objects. The mass of the earth is larger than the apple. Then, an apple will fall on the earth.

An apple falls on the earth due to the force of gravitation between an apple and the earth.

The mass of the earth is larger than the moon. The force of gravitation is responsible to keep the moons in its orbits. It is balanced by the centripetal force. Otherwise, the moon will fall on the earth.
