    Two objects allowed to move freely will accelerate toward each other

    in response to the gravitational forces between them.

    It doesn't matter whether they have equal masses or vastly different

    masses ... each object accelerates toward the other one.

    The less-massive object has greater acceleration, and the more-massive

    object has smaller acceleration.

    Yes. When you fall to the Earth, the Earth falls to you, but with less

    acceleration because it has less mass than you have.
