Gravity is so weak, that the electromagnetic force (the one that determines solid/liquid/gas) can resist its influence until you get to planetary scales.
Mountains can only exist because of the utter feebleness, of gravity.
To overcome the coulomb barrier; to achieve nuclear fusion; you need a stars mass of material forcing the nucleons together.
As you said, “at that scale”, which is totally correct. I’m just trying to ensure that anyone reading this doesn’t get the impression that gravity is strong compared to the other fundamental forces.
