To understand why, we can refer to Newton's law of universal gravitation. According to this law, any two objects with mass will exert an attractive force on each other. The magnitude of this gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
This means that even objects with small masses will still exert a gravitational force on each other. However, the force will be weaker compared to objects with larger masses. Additionally, the gravitational force between two objects becomes stronger as they get closer to each other. So, it is not necessary for objects to be close to exert a gravitational force on each other, but the strength of the force will decrease with distance.
Therefore, all objects, regardless of their size or mass, exert a gravitational force on all other objects.
