The Earth has identical gravitational attraction to that of the Moon.
Explanation: By Newton’s law of gravitation and his third law, the force Earth exerts on the Moon equals in magnitude (and is opposite in direction to) the force the Moon exerts on the Earth: F = G mEarth mMoon / r^2. (Note: the gravitational field/acceleration near each body differs because their masses differ.)
