Question

although a stone and earth attract each other with equal force,why do we observe that only the stone falls towards earth but not the earth rising towards the stone?
explain.​

Answer 1

Because mass of stone is very small as compare to that of earth

This implies that gravitational force will be less so rather does not more towards stone

Answer 2

Because earth has higher mass than stone and according to Newton 's 2nd law of motion

F=ma

or. a=F/m

. Because of the stone has lower mass it attracts earth with a very very little acceleration and we finds only that earth is attracting the stone not the stone
