  Yes. And that force is proportional to acceleration so it accelerates earth

  In the same way that earth has gravity that attracts objects, the objects have gravity that attracts earth. See also Newton’s third law, also known as “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” - for the earth to attract something, the earth also has to be attracted with the same force. It’s just that the earth has a lot more mass, so the force barely accelerates it.

  Being attracted to something and actually being moved by it are different things.

    They are being moved, it is just imperceptible to the human eye.

    It is all a matter on how precise you want to be
