If you refer to gravitation, any object in the Solar System will attract the moon. However, the strongest forces the moon "feels" are from the Sun (being the most massive object in the Solar System), and from the Earth (being relatively near-by).

The 3 external forces acting on Earth are gravity from the Sun and Moon, solar radiation pressure, and tidal forces from the Moon and Sun.

the moon.


What happens when the gravitational forces of the Sun and the moon combine?

When the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon combine, it results in tidal forces on Earth. These tidal forces cause the ocean water to bulge out towards the Sun and the Moon, creating high and low tides. The Sun and Moon's gravitational forces work together to influence the Earth's tides in a complex way.


Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?

Yes, the forces between Earth and the Moon follow Newton's third law. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon, and in return, the Moon exerts an equal but opposite gravitational force on the Earth.

If there were no inertia would cause the moon to travel in a straight line?

Inertia is a natural force that impacts the forces of the moon and its orbit through the solar system.


Does the moon revolve because of gravitational forces?

Yes, the moon revolves about (orbits) the earth because of gravitational forces. However it also rotates (turns/spins) about its axis of rotation - this movement involves gravitational forces as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gravity is involved in both the revolution and the rotation of the moon. For more on the rotation (spin) of the moon, see the link below.


What forces affect tides?

Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.


Forces exerted by the sun and the moon that generate tidal bulges?

The gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon create tidal bulges on Earth's oceans. These forces cause the water to bulge out in the direction facing the sun and moon, resulting in high tides where the bulges are and low tides where they are not. The interaction of these forces results in the phenomenon of tides as we experience them on Earth.


what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?

What forces causes the synchronous rotation keeps the same side of the Moon facing the Earth?

Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
