Oxygen would not be attracted to the lower atmosphere, which would not allow for respiration.

Asteroids would not be repelled, which would cause constant explosions on the surface.

The Sun’s heat would not be attracted, which would make the surface too cold.

The radiation from the Sun would not be repelled, which would make the surface too hot.
