Mass effects gravity. Everything with mass has its own gravitational force. Gravitational force is a constanteffected by mass.

Air has mass and therefore creates it's own gravitational force. Air does add to the total gravitational force of the Earth, but the amount is relatively insignificant.

Air does have weight due to gravity acting on it, but air itself does not exert a gravitational force on other objects. Rather, the force of gravity acts on air, causing it to be pulled downward towards the Earth's surface.
Yes, even air exerts some gravity. Not much; a cubic foot of air (at standard temperature and pressure) isn't very much mass, and mass is the main factor in gravity.
And remember that gravity is MUTUAL; the force of attraction goes both ways.
Mutual gravitational attraction is what causes a huge cloud of dust and gas floating in space to coalesce and collapse into a solar system.
yes, gravity is responsible for air pressure p=p0e-gMh/rt known a barometric pressure. The higher one goes the less air pressure there is.
The gravitational force of black hole is unlimited.
Gravitational force is the natural phenomenon that causes objects with mass to be attracted to one another. For example, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
No. Gravitational force is the attractive force that objects of mass have on other matter (including light). Pushing a grocery cart is an example of force, just not a gravitational force. Now, dropping a grocery cart would be an example of gravitational force, since it is the Earth's mass that is attracting it towards the ground.
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the Earth's atmosphere. It is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth on the air molecules and decreases with altitude.
Yes. A single gas particle experiences gravitational force.
