The Universal Law of Gravity states that the force of gravity acts between all objects. Nonetheless, you never feel that the fridge in your kitchen pulls you toward it. Why?

If your mass is 50 kg (you weigh 110 pounds), and the mass of the refrigerator
is 100 kg (it weighs 220 pounds), and you're standing so that the center of
the frig and the center of you are 1 meter apart (about 3 feet), then the force
of gravity between you and the frig is about 0.0000012 ounce. That's why.
