      The strength of gravity increases with mass- so bigger things (stars) have more gravity than little things ( moons). Gravity also decreases proportionally to how far away you are from the mass- so if you are in deep space there is less gravity acting on you hat if you were in orbit around Earth.

      What Kirsty said 🙂

      Bigger mass = bigger gravity.
      Closer you are to that mass = stronger gravitational force.

      Even you have some gravitational attraction force!
