Electromagnetism is 1039 orders of magnitude stronger than gravity. That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times stronger than gravity.

"When I let go of a magnet, it falls to the ground."

When a magnet is laying on the ground and I position another magnet above it, with the polarity correctly aligned, I can lift that magnet up!
I can lift tons of iron scrap up given a strong magnet and a crane. I can make a huge train, "levitate" off of the ground given electromagnets and electric currents.
Gravity is weak.
