It is true that the stone and earth attract each other with the same force.
But we see only the stone moving, not get earth.
because acceleration = Force/mass
mass of earth is around 6×10^24 kg
for a 1kg stonewhen force is around 10N
so acceleration of earth = 10/(6×10^24) = 1.6 × 10^(-24) m/s^2.
Acceleration of earth is of the order 10^(-24) . You can take it as 0.
So earth doesn't move.
That's why you don't see the earth moving towards the stone.
