Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
What causes daily high and low tides?
The moon and earths gravitational pull (gravity)
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites
Do high tides occur mostly in the night or morning?
at night the moons gravity pulls waves to high tide and is strongest best at night rather than in the morning. Hope that answers your question.
Why do earth and the moon remain in their orbits?
(simplified) Gravitational force of attraction is balanced by centripital force due to earths velocity. (G*m1*m2) / r2 = m2 * (v2 / r) m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass r = earth - sun distance v = earths orbital velocity G = newtons gravitational constant
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
Is surface gravity caused by moons?
No of couse not u stupid
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
What is wave and tide?
Well for those of u who must know, waves are ocean currents created by wind. Tides are ocean currents created from the push and the pull of the sun and the moons gravity.
Why are currents formed?
Gravity for two reasons * The water moves from a higher region to a lower one (mostly for rivers) * The moons gravity causes high a low tide, this pull the water up then drop it causing the water to stir around in currents (this is mostly for oceans)
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
Is it true that tides are caused by the moons gravitational pull?
Yes, though the sun's gravity also plays a large part.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What is the rising she falling off the ocean surface caused by the moon pull off gravity?
Gravity and the pull of the moon are the same thing. The pull of the moon is caused by the moons' gravity.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
What keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
