That is not correct.Objects on Earth are attracted to Earth, AND they are attracted to one another. The magnitude of their attraction to one another is usually quite small, due to their small size.

There is, in fact, a gravitational force between objects on Earth. However, this force is incredibly small compared to the gravitational force that they have with the Earth.

The reason for the difference is that Earth has an extremely large mass compared to objects on Earth (such as a rock or a building).

They are also attracted to each other, but the force is so small we can't feel it. The force is propotional to the mass of the object, so the lighter the object, the weaker the force.

Because the to poles of the Earth aren't magnets. That's why

Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?

different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other


The form of energy which keeps everything on the ground?

This is the law of gravitation-two masses m and M attract each other, but the earth is so much bigger than anything built or moving on it, that such objects are attracted to the earth, without the earth being noticeably attracted to the objects. Therefore all objects are attracted to the earth and would if in freefall be accelerated at the rate of 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2. towards the earth.


What is magnetisum?

Magnetism is the force with which objects are attracted or repelled to one another. Usually these objects are metals such as iron. Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or suspended the magnet lines up in a north - south direction. When the north pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of another magnet, the poles are repelled. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one another. The attraction repelling of two magnets towards one another depends on how close they are to each other and how strong the magnetic force is within the magnet. The further apart of the magnets are the less they are attracted or repelled to one another.


Is attracted to magnet?

North poles attract south poles, and the other way around as well. Two poles of the same kind will repel eachother.
