Electrostatic force or Coulomb’s force is the force acting between two charges. Force between similar natures (same sign) will always be repulsive, while the force between two unlike charges (opposite sign) will always be attractive. Example: The electrons of an atom are bounded to its nucleus because of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electrons and the positive nucleus.
Gravitational force is the force acting between two masses. It is always attractive. Example: Gravitational force responsible for keeping the moon on its orbit around the earth

gravitational force is the force exerted by the centre of the earth towards itself. it is an attractive force.
electrostatic force is the force of attraction between the unlike charges or the force of repulsion between the like charges between any two objects
