The bowling ball isn’t falling to the earth faster. The higher perceived acceleration is due to the earth falling toward the bowling ball.

Obviously the bowling ball because it’s more MASSIVE.
Or dense?
It’s the mass that results in gravity, not the density. A giant cloud of gas will have the same gravitational effects as if it were compressed into its solid phase
Ehh, just thinking of possible air resistance and such. I don’t know which variables they like to include and which not. But I’m guessing this is not one for just treating gravity as a one way street cuz the earth is so big
Tho, with a cloud of gas you can’t get as close to the center of mass without passing a bunch of it
