I know gravity is a force, along with electromagnetism, strong-weak nuclear. I can understand how they work. I also know that a huge mass attracts other masses, but how?

Gravity is the fundamental force that governs the motion of objects in the universe. It is the attraction between two objects with mass.
Gravity works by pulling objects with mass towards each other. The larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. This is why large objects like planets have a stronger gravitational pull than smaller objects like rocks.
Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering gravity in the late 17th century. His famous apple falling from a tree led him to develop the theory of gravity and the laws of motion.
No, gravity cannot be turned off. It is a fundamental force of the universe and is always present. However, its effects can be minimized in space by the absence of large objects with mass.
Objects fall towards the Earth because of its large mass and strong gravitational pull. The Earth's gravity pulls objects towards its center, causing them to accelerate and fall towards the ground.
