The Strong Nuclear Force, or Strong Force is the fundamental force interaction between quarks. It is conducted by gluons, which are charged themselves.

 

Charge

There are three types of strong charges, called colors. Each quark carries one color: red, green, blue, antired, antigreen, or antiblue, while gluons carry two. Because the net color charge of nuclei is neutral, the strong force usually only interacts noticeably on sub atomic scales. The majority of the strong interaction is between quarks inside subatomic particles. The derivative interaction between the particles themselves is called the residual strong nuclear force. Interestingly enough, Gluons can be attracted to each other independently of quarks.

 

Force

Unlike gravity, the strong force is governed by a square law. This means that an unobstructed quark's charge should interact on huge scales with distant objects. However this effect is shielded by other quark's charges.
