This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

What does it mean for the gravitational force to be "between" two bodies?

It is not a individual force that exists in the space between them, it is rather saying between in the case that both bodies exert a force on each other, which gradually pulls them to a point between …

What happens to graviational force when separation between 2 objects is very small?

Beyond that we really don't know how things work. 2: At small enough distances, even before you reach the Planck Length, other forces take over. So gravity being considered as the primary force. … It is actually very weak in general, to the extent that there are many theories which attempt to understand why it is in such a completely different league than the other fundamental forces. 3: As also …
