How does the moons gravity affect your planet?
The gravity of any body affects all other bodies. In particular the gravity of the Moon creates the tides in bodies of water here on Earth. It also affects our planet's orbit and angle of tilt relative to the plane of its orbit.
Why does the position of Jupiter not strongly affect the ocean tides?
Because the moons tide is stronger than jupiters, And jupiter is farther from earth
What do tides do during the new and full moon?
Spring tides occur at full and new moons.
Are stars moons?
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
Where are the Galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons orbit the planet Jupiter.
Does the moons orbit cause ice storms?
Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.
How does the moons orbit around the sun affect seasons?
It doesn't. It is the tilting of the Earth's axis that creates the seasons. The orbit of the Moon (and our orbit around the Sun) affects Earth's tides.
Does the moons orbit cause tides and phases on Earth?
yes
Does earth orbit causes change in the tides?
No. The biggest influence on the tides is the moons gravitational pull.
Why do you have two spring tides and two neap tides?
they are cuased by the moons grasity on earth and the orbit of earth around the sun
Why is material deposited on the beach?
Because of the tides which are controlled by the moons orbit and gravitational force
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
What object in the sky has the most significant affect on earths tides?
the moons gravitational pull
How does the moons gravity affect your planet?

Does the moons orbit around the earth affect the moon phase?
yea
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
