Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.

Does the moon also pull on earth?

Yes. The effect of this is seen on tidal water. Tidal water is a "wave" following the moon around the earth as the moon moves.


What dose the moon do for the earth?

It reflects the light from the sun to the Earth, and generates tidal forces that effect large bodies of water.


What is the effect of the moon's revolution?

A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.


What is the effects of the moon on tidal reaction?

Well, the gravitational pull is an effect so if a body of water on Earth is closer to the moon, the tidal waves are higher than on the opposite side of the world. Hope that helps!


What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?

In a line. Sun, Moon, Earth or Sun, Earth, Moon

Can a tidal turbine produce power on no moon day?

Yes, even if you cannot see the moon, it is still having tidal effect AND the sun also creates a tidal effect, weaker than the moon, but still there.

Which celestial body has a greater effect on tidal forces on earth?

The primary source of tidal effects on Earth is the Moon, and the Sun is #2.


What effect of the tidal forces on th rotation of the moon?

None, its the other way around: The Moon influences the tides on Earth


How can the moon affect an earth like planet?

The tidal effect of a body increases as a cube of the distance.

What effect does the harvesting of tidal energy have on the Moon's orbit?

It soon will pull the moon closer and closer until earth collides with the moon. After it will collide with the other planets

What produces tidal range?

the combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produces tidal ranges.


If the moon were covered with water tidal effects by Earth would find the moon with?

two tidal bulges


Why does the moon effect the water?

The moon's gravitation pulls water masses to cause the tidal effect.
