When an apple falls towards the earth, the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true? If yes, why is the earth's motion not noticeable?​

It’s not true! Due to the earth already moving around earth it’s not possible for earth to meet the Apple so instead the Apple meets earth due to the gravitational pole! If earth met the Apple it would mess up circling the sun causing us to meet out demise

Hope this explains your question
