If all objects that have mass also have gravity, Why doesn't your pencil orbit around you or get pulled towards you while it sits on the desk?

Answer:

There is no mode of action of force given by me to the pencil , therefore this is the reason behind my pencil not getting pulled towards me while sitting on the desk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on their mass and their distance apart, gravity is a force of attraction between objects. Gravity doesn't drag other things against me because either I didn't offer my force or I did an action.

Any object in the universe that has mass exerts on every other mass a gravitational pull, or force. The size of the pull is dependent on the objects' masses. You exert a gravitational force on the people around you, but it's not a very effective force, because it's not a very large force.

Hence , without any exertion of force given by me , the pencil will not get pulled towards me.
