According to Newton’s third law of motion, thenapple will also attract the earth with equal amount of forcenNewton's third law is about action and reaction but here we arentalkning about attraction how Newton's third law on attraction

Answer 1

It is true that the force with which the earth attracts the apple is equal and opposite to the force with which the apple attracts the earth by Newton’s third law of motion. When we mean attraction, it is an action of one body on the other. Now the attraction of earth on apple is equal but opposite to the attraction of apple on earth. Thus, Newton’s third law of motion is justified again which says every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
