yes, a pretty big one too..
Friction is the resistance that one object/surface encounters while moving across/over another
Gravity is the force that attracts an object towards a MUCH larger one (usually a planet)

What is the difference between friction and gravity?
FRICTION is the energy generated when two bodies have some physical interaction with each other. GRAVITY is the force of a mass which pulls an object towards its center. *Friction produces heat but not Gravity
Is friction caused by gravity?
No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.
Is friction the speed of an object?
No, friction is the force between to objects created by gravity.
Is friction a type of gravity?
No, friction is a force. Gravity is the force that pulls matter to the centre of the earth. Friction is the heat between two objects pressed and rubbed together
What accounts for the difference between starting friction and sliding friction?
inertia

Who would win in a fight between the physical embodiments of gravity and friction?
Gravity, friction lacks the shear power that gravity has and wouldn't stand a chance.

No, friction is a force. Gravity is the force that pulls matter to the centre of the earth. Friction is the heat between two objects pressed and rubbed together
Is sliding friction caused by the attraction between two surfaces?
Yes. Without sliding friction or rolling friction, we would not be able to walk. It is the relationship between gravity, friction, and mass.
What accounts for the difference between starting friction and sliding friction?
inertia
What is the difference between kinetic friction and state friction?
it speeds up and speeds down
Difference between starting friction and sliding fricition?
Starting or "sticky" friction is large than sliding friction.
What are the variables that determine the force of friction between a wooden block and the surface on which it is resting?
Gravity is the only force of friction if it and the environment is at rest.
One form of a sled is a luge What natural force slows the luge?
Friction between the the luge and the ice.
When you stand on a slope why don't you slide?
That depends on the friction, or grip, between your feet and the surface you are standing on. Its a battle between gravity and friction. If you are in bare feet on ice, mud, or wet grass or clay, gravity wins and you take a tumble. If you are wearing hiking boots on rock, stone, or any surface with a little friction, friction wins.
