Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
How Does Gravity Affect the Suns movement?
Actually the gravity cannot affect the suns movement. But without gravity, every planet would stop orbiting and sail off out of here in a straight line.
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.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Mass and gravity
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?
NO !!! However, it will affect the movement of the Earth in space and the movement of the Moon. This is because of their own gravitational attraction and their positions relative to each other and Earth.
What force controls the movement of planets and moons in your solar system?
Gravity
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
How Does Gravity Affect the Suns movement?
Actually the gravity cannot affect the suns movement. But without gravity, every planet would stop orbiting and sail off out of here in a straight line.
How does gravity affect the movement of water and ice?

Describe two ways gravity can affect the movement of a wheel and axle in a bicycle?
it can affect the movement that pull the whell and the weight
How does gravity affect dance?
In low gravity- less effort and slow motion in upward and downward movement. in higher gravity - more effort and slow motion in upward movement and vice versa for downward movement.
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.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
What are the factors that can affect mass movement?
Mass movement refers to the movement of surface material due to gravity. Other factors that can trigger mass movement are deforestation, saturation of surface materials with water, earthquakes and flash floods.
