Best Answer

Yes, there is a gravitational pull that works both ways. Just as the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Earth, likewise the gravitational pull of the moon has its effect on the Earth, most commonly seen in its effects on the tides of the ocean. No doubt the gravitational pull of the Sun also effects ocean tides and other unseen effects.
