How Why doesn't Einstein's general theory of relativity implies Earth's gravityseem to work on Earth?

I am new to physics and i learnI have learned a little bit about gravity from Einstein's perspective. The gist is that Heavyheavy objects create curvature on space timeof spacetime, and the free falling-falling objects movesmove on the straight lines onin the curvature.

But iI am failing to understand that how this appliedapplies to the objects inside earthon Earth. forFor example, why elephants don't elephants make space time curvaturesspacetime curvature and cause dust to go around him them? orOr simply, how the space time curvatures worksdoes spacetime curvature work inside a planet.?
