Venus, for example, has no global magnetic field but has around the same level of gravity as earth.
But you weren't paying attention.
It is only Earth's gravity which is due to electromagnetism. In other places gravity is a property of matter.edit on 9/20/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)
Ashwini Kumar Lal, an official with the Town and Country Planning Organisation of India's urban development ministry, has in his paper "On Planetary Electromagnetism and Gravity" said that the gravitational pull on earth and similar planets like Mars, Venus and Mercury is due to the generation of electromagnetism within their interiors.

Bravo OP, I've been saying this for years.....if it wasn't for magnetism we could walk through walls and fall through the floor. Gravity IMO has always been a residual effect of electro-magnetism, a reaction from a primary action. A reactive force stemmed from a proactive force if you will.

You fall thru water but can walk on ice.
So does the water acquire magical electromagnetism, when it freezes?

Lol. So heavenly bodies without a magnetic field will possess no gravity

You might answer your own question... Why does water freeze?

last time i checked water doesn't have any magnetic or electromagnetic properties

Water is a polar molecule. Water is composed of electromagnetic particles called electrons and protons.
If water didn't have EM properties, we would not be here. Our brains could not function and ice would sink. EM fields on a quantum and macro level are required for life to exist. EMF is required by living cells. It's a basic building block for life.
