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.

ViviNo, 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 is the second strongest force?
Lightsaber
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.
Who is the strongest villan in the world?
The strongest villan in the world is Zurafa.
