It only affects the tides and waves. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the rise and fall of ocean tides. The moon's gravitational pull causes two bulges of water on the Earth's oceans-one where ocean waters face the moon and the pull is strongest and one where ocean waters face away from the moon and the pull is weakest. Both bulges cause high tides. These are high tides. As the Earth rotates, the bulges move around it, one always facing the moon, the other directly opposite. The combined forces of gravity, the Earth's rotation, and other factors usually cause two high tides and two low tides each day.
What else can I help you with?
What are some differences between the earth and moon?
The moon is smaller, uninhabited, and barren. The Moon does not have oxygen but the Earth does. No gravity on moon but the Earth does. No water, land, life, on the moon.
What the moon and weather affect the moon?
The Moon doesn't significantly affect weather on Earth, and weather on Earth doesn't affect the Moon at all.
How does solar eclipses affect life on earth?
The moon comes near the sun and they from a solar ecliopses
What are the four things that affect tides?
The four main factors that affect tides are the gravitational pull of the moon, the gravitational pull of the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the shape of the coastline.
How would 2 visible Moons in the night sky affect the Earth and life on it?
It might affect the tide because our moon controls that.
If the moon fell where would it land?
It wouldn't fall, per say. The Moon would crash into the planet Earth, ending all life.
Did Apollo 11 land?
Land where the moon or on earth, if the earth it was the Pacific ocean.
How does gravity from the moon affects the earth?
No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.
Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
How can the moon light affect the earth?
The moon affects the Tides.
Who has a greater affect on earth's tides sun or moon?
Both Sun and Moon affect the Earth's tides. However, the Moon's gravitational pull is greater that the Sun's gravitational pull. When the S - M - E are in a direct line ( Solar Eclipse line ), both the Sun and the Moon are pulling together. so you have VERY High/Low Spring Tides. When the S- E - M are in a direct line ( Lunar Eclipse line), the Sun and the Moon are pulling in opposite directions. The Moon has the greater gravitational pull , so you have High/Low Spring Tides. , but not quite as high for a S-M- E. alignment. NB The 'High/Low' means that the range between High Tide and Low Tide is at it greatest. When the S - E ¬ M are at right angles, Earth at the right angle. You have Neap Tides . The range between high tides and low tide is small. This is because the Sun and the Moon are pulling at right angles to each other. NB THe symbol ' ¬ ' means at right angles. Also there is the 'wheel balancing' effect. Where ever the Moon is in relation to the Earth, there is an High Tide. On the opposite side of the Earth , away from the Moon, there is also another high tide, not quite as high, This can be thought of as the 'wheel balancing' effect. In between at approximately 90/270 degrees is the corresponding low tide. The Earth rotates, and the tide follows the Moon. NNB Select a point on the map, say New York harbour, or Bay of Fundy. Then look at the heights, lows and times of the tides, over a period of say 60 days( 2 mo(o)nths). You will see it follows a 'wave' like curve'. Hope that helps.
What life on earth would look like if the moon never formed?
without the moon, earth wouldn't exist because the moon creates tidal waves, with out those, they couldnt of created land and parted them into states and countries.
