Why does the Earth not seem to move towards an apple falling towards it?

  1. It does not move towards the apple
  2. There is no force to move the Earth towards the apple
  3. The acceleration gained by the Earth is not sufficient for its motion to be apparent
  4. The Earth only pulls objects towards itself and does not move towards them

hintHint:

the Earth not seem to move towards an apple falling towards it because the acceleration gained by the Earth is not sufficient for its motion to be apparent.

The correct answer is: The acceleration gained by the Earth is not sufficient for its motion to be apparent
