Why Is It That An Apple Will Fall On The Earth And Not That The Earth Will Live It Position And Move To Strike The Apple.is it just because that Earth has gravity. and Earth is a huge place very big material?

Yep, and from a frame of reference in which the moon is at rest, they both move.Tobias Funke said:In a geocentric reference frame, the apple moves and the Earth doesn't. In the Malus domestica-centric frame, the Earth moves and the apple doesn't.
Ibix said:As Borek notes, in Newtonian gravity both Earth and apple accelerate towards each other, but the acceleration is proportional to the mass of the other body

Apples (and other objects) fall to the Earth due to the force of gravity. Gravity is a natural phenomenon in which two objects with mass are attracted to each other. The Earth has a much larger mass than an apple, so the apple is pulled towards the Earth.
Yes, the size and weight of an apple does affect its fall. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object. This means that the larger and heavier an object is, the stronger the force of gravity will be and the faster it will fall towards the Earth.
Apples (and other objects) don't float or fly away because of the force of gravity. Gravity is constantly pulling objects towards the Earth, so they cannot float or fly away unless another force, such as air resistance or a person's hand, counteracts the force of gravity.
Yes, there are ways to make an apple not fall to the Earth. One way is to apply an upward force, such as throwing the apple upward, that is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down. Another way is to place the apple in a location where it is not affected by the force of gravity, such as in outer space.
In most cases, yes, the apple will always fall to the Earth. This is because the force of gravity is a constant and natural force that is always pulling objects towards the Earth. However, there are certain situations, such as in outer space or in the presence of very strong upward forces, where an apple may not fall to the Earth.
