  • Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
  • The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
  • These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
  • Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.

So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
