      Objects with mass have gravity. Most things however don’t have much gravity as they are so small, you really need planet sized things before you get strong gravity that keeps us on the floor.

      With the discovery of the Higgs Boson a few years ago at the LHC in CERN they think they have found the particle that gives everything mass and therefore kinda gives things gravity.
