      No. Gravity is a fundamental property of everything in the universe which has mass.

      Everything object you’ve ever come across has it’s own gravitational pull. Even tiny objects like a grain of sand have a gravitational pull, it’s just so tiny you can’t feel it.

      The larger an object it the bigger it’s gravity. On the Moon, which is much smaller than the Earth, astronauts can jump really high as the gravity is so much weaker than on Earth.

      For any large planet or moon, the gravity will be strong enough for you to feel it.
