That's not how gravity works, as far as I know. Gravity is, indeed, a force, that becomes stronger proportionally to the mass and distance of an object. Jupiter has more mass than Earth, so it has an stronger gravitational force, so it pulls objects towards it with more strength.

In Newtonian physics, gravity is a force, described as F = Gmm/d²

In general relativity, gravity is not a force but an effect we observed caused by the curvature of Spacetime. In the same sense that inertia is not a force.
