Well, actually no.
You can pick up pieces of tissue with a little bit of electrical charge on a comb or a balloon.
But you can't pick them up with a Bowling ball, no matter how heavy it is, if it's not charged.
Gravity isn't strong enough.
Take two metal balls, each with one kilogram of mass, set them down 1 meter apart,
and measure the gravitational force between them.
Then take two tissue paper balls, put one coulomb of charge on each one, set them down 1 meter apart,
and measure the electrical force between them.
The force between the coulombs is about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times
as strong as the gravitational force between the kilograms.
As my beloved mentor E. M. Hafner used to tell us at the U of R : If each kilogram
of mass in the earth and each kilogram of mass in you was a coulomb of charge,
you'd still fall down, but you'd just fall down 1040 harder.
It is in that it is an attractive force, but is not, in that it is much weaker than EM force.
It is difficult to compare the strengths of Electric force and Gravity as they depend on two very different things. The strength of Electric force between two bodies is determined by Charge whereas Gracitational force is determined by mass. In general, it has been observed that the amount of charge particles have causes a larger Electric force to be exerted between them than the Gravitational force induced by their masses. This is also what we observe on a larger scale in everyday life where, for example, one's entire weight is supported by the electormagnetic force between the molecules on the surface of one's feet and the surface of the floor. ^^^I agree that electrical force is stronger than gravitational force. I have always been taught that is is because electrical force acts in all directions, whereas gravity only acts downward.
Gravity between any two particles is much, much weaker than the strong force, the weak force, or the electromagnetic forces.However, note that gravity acts over long distances, and particles attract each other, they don't repel each other, through gravity. Therefore, the cumulative effect can be considerable, and gravity is a very powerful force on large (astronomical) scales.
No, it's much stronger. Take two metal balls, each with one kilogram of mass, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the gravitational force between them.

You can pick up pieces of tissue with a little bit of electrical charge on a comb or a balloon ... that little bit of charge on a comb is stronger than the whole earth's gravity pulling the bits of tissue downward. Also, you can't pick up bits of tissue with a bowling ball, no matter how heavy it is, if it's not charged. Gravity isn't strong enough.
Electrical force is MUCH stronger than gravitational force. Gravitational force is extremely weak.
It is in that it is an attractive force, but is not, in that it is much weaker than EM force.

Weaker, much weaker.
Much weaker. Pluto is a dwarf planet and much less massive than earth, so it has lesser granitational force at it's surface.
It has much weaker gravity.
Mars has a much weaker gravity than Earth.
There is less oxygen on Pluto of all planets because it is a lot smallerno, it is lesserweakerPluto has a weaker pull than that of and planet, even Mercury!Pluto's gravitational pull is much less than that of Earth due to their difference in size.No. Pluto has a much less mass than earthLess. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the planet and the object, but, relative to the same object, the force of gravity on Pluto is much less than on Earth, because Pluto is much less massive than Earth. According to Wikipedia, the acceleration due to gravity on Pluto is 0.067g or 6.7% of gravity on Earth.

Yes: the moon is smaller than the earth, so it's gravitational force is much weaker.
The Moon does have gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
Mars has a weaker gravity than earth because it is a smaller planet and is smaller than
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth. It is not enough to hold onto an atmosphere.
