compared to that of gravity

at "short distances" electromagnetism appears to exert more 'force' (due to *differences* in potential)
repulsive force between two protons in the nucleus requires mass-conversion in the form of 'binding energy' whichis pretty strong application of force(s)
however, at long distances, it is interesting to observe that gravitational forces shape the trajectories of galaxies and galactic clusters ..... while EM-forces merely provide specklings of light ...
odd stuff

Yes, by a lot. Gravity is a very weak force, the only time it's obvious is when you look to large masses like planets, etc. If you put two marbles next to each other on a table there is a gravitational attraction between them, it's just so weak that it can't even overcome the small amount of friction from the surface.

Nuclear forces are improved than Electromagnetism frequently speaking it is going so as from weakest to maximum powerful physics forces: a million) Gravitational forces/fields 2)electric powered fields (electrical energy is the fabricated from polar allure or repulsion subsequently: electro magnetism in an electric powered container 3) vulnerable nuclear forces 4) sturdy nuclear forces (purely interior the nuclei)

Electromagnitism is dependant on two things. Firstly the conductance of the material being used (ie the term 'superconductor) and also the ammount of energy applied through it.
Gravity is only dependant on 'mass'. The denser the mass, the more gravitational force is evidant.
Either could be as strong, but gravity is the reason for black holes!

In a word yes. Loads of other people have given you answers but the fact that a fridge magnet can overcome the gravity of an entire planet is pretty convincing.

Yes it can be, and that you can control the strength of the electromagnet by applying more and and more current to it until the core is saturated that it (the core) started to become magnetized where you can no longer increase the field strngth due to the magnetized core.

Yep yep! Now get to studying up on the Electric Universe. It's the future of space science, it's time we get those old guys out of there already. I hate NASA.

Yes, by about 40 orders of magnitude. That's a one followed by forty zeroes.

hell yes - you can pick up a car (or two) with the right magnet. it overcomes gravity pretty easily so it's obviously stronger

I do agree with the answer of "ANONYMOUS DAVE" !
