Answer

The magnitude of this force is incredibly small and impossible to sense.

Work Step by Step

The force of gravitation is equal to $F=\frac{GmM}{R^2}$, where $G$ is a constant on the order of $10^{-11} N \times m^2 \times kg^{-2}$. Therefore, this force is incredibly weak and is hard to sense.
