Gravity is the force that attracts all objects with mass towards one another. It is the force that keeps us on the ground and holds the planets in orbit around the sun. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, but it becomes increasingly powerful as the mass of the objects involved increases. Electromagnetism is the force that causes electric charges to interact with one another. It is responsible for the behavior of light, radio waves, and other electromagnetic waves. It also explains how magnets work and the forces that hold atoms together. It is much stronger than gravity. The strong nucle...
