Gravity is a notoriously weak force! Consider this; a fridge magnet using the electromagnetic force can overcome the gravity OF THE ENTIRE PLANET!
It is a bit difficult to directly compare two different forces, but the gravitational attraction between two electrons is about 40(!!) orders of magnitude smaller than the electromagnetic repulsion.
The reason for this is not yet known, it is hoped that a quantum version of the general theory of relativity might shed more light on this in the future, but such a quantum version has not been discovered at present.

∙ 9y agoNo, it is the weakest. There are four main forces in the universe and the weakest is gravity. The next strongest is the weak nuclear force, then the electromagnetic force is stronger, and finally the strongest force is the strong nuclear force.

Nuclear force operate over small distances, while over large distances, gravity outmuscles the rest.

What is the strongest thing in the world?
Graphene is now considered the hardest (a.k.a strongest) thing in the world. Spider silk is the strongest material, however every SINGLE STRAND OF SPIDER SILK must be as thick as a pencil and it can only stop a Boeing 747 in MIDFLIGHT
When is gravitational force the strongest?
Gravitational force is the strongest when you are the closest to a mass.
What force is more powerful than gravity?
Applicably speaking: The downward force out of the bottom of a set of Saturn 5 Rockets. Theoretically speaking: Anything that can overcome the force of g. Out of the three fundamental forces, both the Electromagnetic and the Nuclear force are more powerful than the Gravitational force.
What is the second strongest force?
Lightsaber
Who is the strongest villan in the world?
The strongest villan in the world is Zurafa.
What is the strongest type of force?
The strongest force, in terms of force, is the strong interaction. The strongest force, in terms of distance, is gravity.
Is gravity the second strongest force in the universe?
No gravity is the weakest force. The proper order is strong force, Electromagnetic, weak force, then gravity
What is weakest gravity the strong force the weak force or the electromagnetic force?
Gravity is the weakest force. In order from strongest to weakest is the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and gravity. However, this is relative to distance - one could consider that gravity is the strongest force because its effect can be felt over enormous distances, even astronomical distances.
Why is gravity strongest at Earth's surface?
Gravity is strongest at the earths surface because it's atmosphere is v dense and so the force inc.this happens because force is directly proportional to density.
4 elements of nature from strongest to weakest?
Gravity, Weak, Electromagnetic, and Strong.
Which planets in the solar system exsert the greatest force of gravity?
Jupiter, the biggest planet, exerts the strongest gravity.
When is gravity the strongest?
at the farthest point from the center of gravity. On planet earth that would be the top of mt. Everest. However there are anomalies in the gravitational field that lead to there being less gravity in certain places of the world. NASA and the German Aerospace Center have launched the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment(GRACE) to measure the anomalies around the world. Results can be seen here http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gravity
Where is gravity strongest equator or north pole?
Force of gravity is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Only considering the force of gravity, it is larger at the equator. If you measure the weight of an object, however, countering gravity is the centripetal force of rotation, which will "subtract" from the force of gravity at the equator.
When does gravity become the stronger force with volcanos?
Gravity is the strongest force in the universe. Not because other forces are not more powerful, but because gravity reaches throughout the universe. Volcanoes really have very little effect on gravity.
Which type of object has the highest gravitational force?
Black holes have the strongest gravity of any object.
Which is the weakest fundamental force?
Force of gravity
How does the electromagnetic force differ from the other three forces?
The electromagnetic force has a longer range of effect than any other force except gravity. It is also the second strongest force. Unlike gravity, it can be both attractive and repulsive.
