उत्तर
The gravitational force is much weaker than other forces in nature.
Explanation:
- Gravity is far weaker than electromagnetic and nuclear forces at atomic and molecular scales.
- However, because mass is always positive and bodies like planets and stars are huge, gravity controls astronomical motion.
