The reason is the mass of the Earth. Its mass creates a gravitational field around it so anything that is inside the gravitational field of the Earth, would feel the gravitational force the Earth is exerting on the object. In the same way because of Newton's third law, the Earth would feel a gravitational force towards the object of the same magnitude it exerts over it.
The core of the Earth contains convecting currents due to highly conductive fluids, this creates electric currents which are the cause of the Earth`s magnetic field.The force of gravity acts between two objects of any mass, and since the mass of the Earth is bigger compared to a simple object as a car, then the Earth attracts any object.
The reason is that any body creates a gravitational field around it, so the massive the object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts. Also since the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, then the closer it is the strongest is the gravitation force. E=MC2
