The gravitational force of the moon plays a part in the rising and falling of sea levels (tides). The moon affects the rotation of the earth by making it take longer, thus making the days longer. This lengthening of the rotation also slows down the average wind speed. Finally, there would be no werewolves.

What is the effect of the sun's light shining on the moon?
The effect is that we see the phases of the moon here on Earth. The reason for different phases is the angle and position of the sun and moon.
How does the moon determine the weather?
With the exception of the ocean tides here on earth, which are caused by the pull of the Moon, the Moon has no effect on earths weather. And the Moon has no weather of it's own, of course.
What happens when the moon travels around the earth?
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.
Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.

What are the main effects of the moon?
The main effect of the moon is to create tides here on earth. Because of this, the moon also causes the earth to slow in it's rotation by about one second every 100,000 years.

Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
Could The Moon Pull The Earth Out Of Orbit?
The Moon definitely has an effect on the Earth's orbit. It can't "pull the Earth out of orbit" because if it could do so, it would have done so billions of years ago and you wouldn't be here to wonder about it.
How does the moon affect things on earth?
the moon effect's the earth in ways of it's gravitational pull
