It's gravitational pull creates our tides and currents.

What does the moon affect the earths tides?
It helped me a lot
Does earths gravity affect space?
No. Space is literally nothing. No oxygen, no air, no dust, nothing. objects in space, yes, the earths gravity does affect it. otherwise the moon would just fly away.
Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?
The moons orbit causes the water to do this. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water to be pushed and pulled
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What does the moon affect the earths tides?

How will absence of moon affect us?
Hi.If the moon was absent we would be literally screwed. Since the moon controls the Earths tides, no moon equals the whole world flooded one big ball of water.
How does the moon position affect the tides of earths ocean?
Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
Is there water on earths moon?
Yes, but only in solid form.
Does Mars' gravity affect other objects?
yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon
What are three answers for how the moon affects earths water?
tide is one

How does gravity affect oceans?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?
The moons orbit causes the water to do this. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water to be pushed and pulled
Does the earths moon have water?
Yes I think it does but it was frozen over years ago so there COULD of been life on the moon
