The most common force of attraction is gravity.
Explanation:
The force that attracts us to the Earth is called gravity. You live with gravity so I do not need to give you examples of that force. Other possible forces of attraction are electromotive force and magnetic force.
Examples of electromotive force: rub a balloon on a woolen sweater and the balloon will cling to a wall. After running a comb through dry hair, bits of paper can be attracted to the comb. Examples of electromagnetic force: iron fillings will be attracted to a magnet, an electric motor runs because of magnetic attraction.
I hope this helps,

The force that attracts (the mass) of all objects together is gravity.
Explanation:
Gravity as described by Newton is the attraction of one mass to adjacent other masses. Newton's law of universal gravitation is defined here:

There are also other forces that attract objects together, such as electrostatic and magnet forces, but the force of gravity affects all masses.
