Is Gravity a very strong force?

Answer 1

no, thats why we float around

Answer 2

Gravity is considered a weak force. this is because it is somewhat easy to overcome. For example, you can through a base ball through the air.If this were a strong force, the baseball would have a harder time getting off the ground. A strongforce would be the nuclear forces keeping atoms together or magnetism like trying to pull two strong magnets apart. Im not saying that gravity is always weak because the gravity of neutron stars and blackholes are very strong but gravity none the less is considered a weak force.

Answer 3

There are 4 forces - in this order:
1). Strong. / 2). Weak. / 3). Electromagnetic & / 4). Gravity.
Gravity is the weakest of the 4 BUT, it acts over the greatest distance. This is why some people consider it strong!
The strong force is the force that hold the protons and neutrons together in the atomic neucleus. The weak force is that which hold the electrons in *orbit* around the neucleus. The electromagnetic force is self explanatory and then comes gravity! The 'starred' word (orbit) above is to explain that electrons don't orbit the neucleus in the manner planets orbit the sun! They orbit in every conceivable path. Perhaps the best way to imagine this, is to imagine the neucleus surrounded by a 'cloud' of fog or a dense spider web. Each strand of the web or imaginary 'line' of fog is an electron orbit. They are all 'crossed over' and each individual orbit is not clearly defined, as they go every-which way. Another way is to imagine the orbits as a ball of string.

Answer 4

Gravity is weaker than the electromagnetic force or either of the two nuclear interactions (strong and weak). However, because the latter two diminish rapidly over distance and it takes energy to produce an electromagnetic force, and the earth is so much larger than we are, gravity is the main force that affects us day-to-day.

Answer 5

Yes. And no. It's kind like water. A drop of water doesn't do much, but a tsunami does a lot. Secondly, there's no anti-gravity, at least that we've been able to find. So there's no cancelling out of forces when you look at something from 'a distance'.

Ergo, on small scales, it is overshadowed by magnetism, etc., but on larger scales, it dominates.

Answer 6

Yes, it is! Gravity holds everything down on our planet!
The Earth is spinning and the force of Gravity keeps everything from flying off of the face of the Earth.
Good luck and may God bless you.

Answer 7

Gravity is millions of times weaker than the next weakest force.

Answer 8

On the only really meaningful scale - comparison with the other fundamental forces - no. It is, however, very far reaching.

Answer 9

yes, it can pull a comet out of orbit so, id think so

Answer 10

yes but it an be overcome, jump.
