What is the difference in strength between the four fundamental forces?

Answer 1

Layla Anderson

To sum up:

The strong nuclear force is #10^39# times stronger than gravity but its reach is only subatomic .

The weak nuclear force is #10^32# times stronger than gravity and its reach is also subatomic .

The electromagnetic force is #10^37# times stronger than gravity and its reach is infinite .

Even though the force of gravity is known to be incredibly weak, it has an infinite range.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
