If the definition of gravity is an attractive force between two masses, why do we not feel a gravitational force between two people?

Answer: Because your mass is so much less than the mass of the Earth,

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't feel your gravitational force. Because the Earth's gravity has the same pull on every object, all objects fall at the same speed (in a vacuum). On Earth, we have air. Air resistance will cause some objects to fall more slowly than others will.

Hope it helps I had this question too!

Have a good day
