What evidence is there that this force also pulls on objects closer to the surface of earth?

Objects in free fall experience the same acceleration regardless of their mass, indicating that gravity affects all objects equally. Additionally, the weight of an object decreases as it moves away from Earth's surface, suggesting a gravitational force that weakens with distance. Finally, observations of celestial bodies orbiting Earth or falling towards it further support the idea that gravity interacts with objects at all distances from Earth's surface.
