Gravitational force is the slight attraction of bodies caused by their masses.

Strong nuclear force is the colossal force possessing protons together in an atomic nucleus.
Alike:

They are both attractive forces.
They are both charge-independent

Different:

Vigorous nuclear force only applies to protons while gravity applies to all matter.
Gravity occurs on all levels of space while the robust nuclear force only occurs at the sub-atomic level.
