I’m a little new here but this piqued my interest. Can you give me a quick briefing on why they would influence each other at such a massive distance?

Because that's how the math works. The equation that you use to determine gravitational force between two objects has the distance between them squared in the denominator, meaning that no matter how large you make it the value is never 0 (although it may be so infinitesimally small that for all intents and purposes it is nonexistent)

Man… that’s interesting… and thought provoking. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
