    The electric force between charges is much larger than the gravitational force but Gravitational force between earth and moon is dominant over Electric force because earth and moon are the electrically neutral body.

    Electrically neutral bodies are those bodies that contain equal no of electron and proton in the body.

    An example of electrically neutral bodies is a neutron.
