Q. Illustrate what is larger the force the earth exerts on you or the force you exert on the earth?

Answer:-

A non-scientist's preliminary stab at this If you are talking about gravity they are equal. I do not see how they are able to be anything BUT equal. Gravity is an striking force between two bodies. Each particle of my body attracts every particle of the earth. It would not be stated any another way from the earth's point of view. The earth has greatly more inertia so I move toward the earth.

The attractive force among the earth and moon is much greater than the attractive force between the earth and me. If I were in the moon's orbital path however nowhere close to the moon and travelling at the same velocity as the moon I'd fly off into space or maybe enter a wildly eccentric orbit that would eventually bring me crashing into the earth.
