Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
Most affected by a change in the moon's mass is what?
Tidal forces on earth
What is one way in which earth is affected by the moon?
the moon, as it rotates around the earth, creates the tides of the ocean through it's gravitational pull
Is the speed at which the earth rotates constant?
No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.

How would the earth be affected if there were no moon?
if there is no moon then there alway the sun which giving its heat &light
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.

What is one way in witch earth is affected by the moon?

How will the eclipse be affected when the sun moon and earth line up?
It will be a Solar Eclipse
Is the speed at which the earth rotates constant?
No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.
How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
What are two things caused by the interaction of the movements of the Earth and moon?
The rise and fall of sea levels are affected very much depending on the type of movements of the earth and the moon.
What part of the earth is affected by the moon?
The entire earth is affected by the moon. The earth is influenced in several ways by the moon, the most important being: - Attraction between masses; - Reflection of light. - The attraction between the earth and the moon has a direct influence on earth's water resulting in the tides; - This attraction also result in small oscillations on the otherwise ecliptic path around the sun. The center of gravity of the earth and its moon combined follows this 'perfect' ecliptic path; - Finally, the reflection of the sun on the moon influences the amount of natural light available - essentially at night.
