Alright. How is gravitational pull exerted? How does that kind of attraction have an influence on another body billions of miles away?

Check Gravity after clicking on Mechanics at Hyperphysics.

Great resource, thanks!

Basically, I learned that it takes two bodies acting on each other for either object to react. That while acting upon one another, the bodies exchange massless particles, and the the force of gravity is acting along a line between the centers of the two masses.
