No, the strong nuclear force (strong interaction) does not act over long distances. It is a "short range" force. Use the link below to the related question, "What is the stong nuclear force?" There you will learn a little more and gain insight into how things work on the subatomic scale.
Because several protons can occupy the nucleus. If the electrical force were stronger the magnetic repulsion between the posive charges would tear the nucleus apart. Also when an electron changes state it emits a photon when the nucleus changes state it alwaye emits a gama ray. The gama ray is a type of elactromagnetic wave but a lot more enagetic than a normal photon.
In my revision guide it says that the electrostaticrepulsion between protons in anucleus has a longer (indefinite, actually) range than the strong nuclear forcekeeping the nucleons together. So I thought: If this is true, what happens at very large separations, e.g. in stable atoms with a large nucleus.May 8, 2015
Because it is. "Why" is for philosophers; we don't know any a priori reason the color force should be so much stronger than the electromagnetic or weak forces, we just know that it is.
Another way of looking at it would be to say that the fact that we're even around to wonder about the question is dependent on the color force being much stronger than the electromagnetic force (this is called the anthropic principle). If the color force and electromagnetic forces were approximately the same, the residual color force that holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus would be unable to do so due to the electromagnetic force between the positively charged protons trying to rip the nucleus apart, and there would be no atoms for us to be made of.
And the ratio between the strong force and the gravitational force is even greater - about 10 to the power 40 for typical particles, if I remember correctly.Nobody really knows why this is. It is conceivable that there are a huge number of universes, where the ratio of forces is different, and that we live in one of the few where the ratios of forces (and other constants of nature) just happen to be such that life can evolve. That would provide an explanation of the "anthropic principle". The possibility of different universes is possible, but hard to prove.
Yes. Gravitational force is the weakest force in this universe. And nuclear force is the strongest. It seems the nuclear strong force is 1040 times greater than the gravitational force.

The strong nuclear force balances out the electrostatic force.
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
The strong nuclear force is stronger than the electrostatic repulsion between protons. If it wasn't, atomic nuclei would never form.
The strong nuclear force, also called binding energy, holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also called the nuclear force, holds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom. This holds true up to about atomic number 83 (bismuth), at which point the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force for protons, starts to overcome the distance barrier of binding energy and make the nucleus unstable. This makes the atoms starting at bismuth and above be radioactive. Additionally, the presence or absence of extra neutrons, i.e. isotopes, even in light nuclides, can, due to the weak interaction, makes the nucleus be unstable, and radioactive.
