only the rock falls to the earth, because the rock is the thing that you are dropping

Answer: The rock and the earth fall towards each other.

Explanation:

As the rock falls from the cliff,its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

The rock is falling and a force on the earth is acting upon it called gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is causing it to fall.

Therefore the rock and the earth fall towards each other.
