What is the difference between strong and weak nuclear force?

The strong nuclear force keeps the atomic nucleus together. Since protons all have the same charge they would repel one another and the nucleus would fly apart without the strong force. The weak force also acts on the atomic nucleus and is involved in radioactive decay and is responsible for radioactivity.
