It's infulenced by Tidal Forces. The Moon mainly effects tides because they have strong tidal forces due to the fact that it is the closest moon or planet (as far as we know) to the Earth.

What does the moon do with the water?

The moon's gravitation forcecauses the waves and other water to be affected. That's how we get the tides and such--from the push and pull of the moon's gravitation force.

Does magnetism change the tides?

No, magnetism does not directly influence tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational forces between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Magnetism plays a role in other natural phenomena, such as the Earth's magnetic field and magnetic interactions between objects.


Is the water in the glass influenced by moon and sun gravitation?

Yes. The gravitation effects of the Moon and the Sun will have a slight tidal effect on the glass of water. The effect is just so small that is barely noticeable.


What ios the primary cause of earths ocean tides?

They are mainly caused by the gravitation of the Moon. More specifically, the Moon attracts the part of Earth that's closer to the Moon stronger than the part that is away from the Moon. To a lesser degree, tides are also caused by the Sun - for the same reason.


Does the gravitational pull of mars cause the rising and falling of tides on earth?

No. The rising and falling tides are caused by the gravitation pulls of the sun and the moon. Mars is too far away to have any noticeable effect on earth tides.


Which celestial bodies are responsible for the tides?

You're fishing for "Earth and Moon", but your outlook on the whole matter seriouslyneeds broadening.-- In the case of tides on the Earth, the Sun has almost as much influence on themas the Moon has.-- In principle, every two celestial bodies are responsible for raising tides on each other,as the result of the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between them.


What role does gravity play in the tides cycle?

Gravity is what causes the tides in the first place. The tides are caused by the fact that the Moon attracts the Earth stronger on one side (the side that is closer to the Moon) than on the other side. To a lesser degree, the Sun's gravitation causes the same effect.


Are tides importantwhy?

Of course tides are important. Tides are influenced by the moon, and are important in determining the life cycles of many of the oceanic creatures. Tides will take away the old and bring in the new!


What casues waves?

Tides respond to lunar gravitation. As Earth rotates on it's own axis, when the face of planet Earth is closest to the Moon, the more active ebb and neap tides will behave.
