Gravity is as strong as electromagnetism. We don't feel it because we are so tiny inside our atom we call universe

I think we do feel it Lucia. Evey time I jump up, without fail, I come back down. I can only throw a baseball so far before it crashes to the ground. It takes a lot of lift to get a plane off the ground. I hardly feel electromagnetism at all!

Very nice comment. However a baseball doesn't go all the way to the center of the earth, right?... Neither you or the plane What stops them to doing so?

Gravity isn't as strong as electromagnetism. The reason why we're being pulled down towards the earth is because the earth is composed of so many atoms that we're bound to it normally.

I think touch results from electromagnetic interaction, so we do feel it all the time :wink: .

which means grass, mud, asphalt, or concrete feel stronger then gravity

Ray, gravity is the curvature of space-time. The larger the object the greater the attraction of gravity.

yes, obviously - by observation.

the force of gravity is relative (as is everything), and the force acting on a small body is less than that affecting a large one.
