Yes, this is what causes tidal changes, however, there are many myths concerning the effects of the moon on humans, animals, plants, etc. one of the best explanation of these effects can be found on the livescience website at livescience dot com.

True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?

False. The Moon orbits around Earth due to Earth's gravitational pull, but the Sun also exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The combined gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun control the Moon's orbit.


How can the moon have a gravitational pull?

All objects, big and small, exert gravitational pull. The moon, being very large, produces a large enough pull to affect the nearby Earth. The Earth also has a gravitational pull which holds the moon in orbit around us and keeps everyone on the ground.


Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?

Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.


How far from the earth is the gravitational pull of the earth the same as the gravitational pull of the moon?

i dont now


Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?

No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull


When is the moon gravition pull the strongest?

The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.


What causes increased tidal volume?

The position of the moon & sun relative to the potion of the Earth experiencing the tidal change. The moon and sun both exert gravitational pull on the oceans.


What objects on earth exert a greater gravational pull than your whole body?

The Earth itself exerts a greater gravitational pull on objects than an individual's body, as well as massive celestial bodies like the Sun and the Moon. Additionally, large rocks or structures with significant mass can also exert a greater gravitational pull due to their mass.


What phase of the moon does it have the strongest gravitational pull?

The gravitational pull of the moon, on the earth, is almost a constant - whatever its phase.


What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?

The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.


Is the gravitational pull on the moon stronger or weaker than the gravitational pull on the earth?

weaker
