the moon has some sort of magnetism thing that controls whether water is high tide or low tide

The sun effects the Earth because of the particles that get thrown out into space can interact with the Earths atmosphere and effect it. The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth and so makes the tides in the ocean happen. There are many other reasons!
Of the natural heavenly bodies near earth, it is the moonthat is closest. Other things come closer on occasion, like meteorites and such, but it is Luna that is our constant and close companion.
He was the first to say that the earth along with the other heavenly bodies orbited around the sun not the other way around.

Most heavenly bodies (stars, other planets, etc.) are simply too far away to affect the Earth in any measurable way (with the exception of their light striking the Earth). However, there are two heavenly bodies that exert a very real effect on the Earth: the Moon and the Sun. The Moon's orbit is close enough to Earth for its gravity to affect our planet in one signifigant way. Its large mass is enough to, in effect, pull liquid water away from the Earth slightly. This is what causes the tides. The Sun is the source (indirectly) of all life on Earth. Its radiation gives warmth to the Earth, allowing it to maintain a life-sustaining temperature range. The Sun also serves as an anchor to our planet, its gravity keeping us in a steady, fairly debris-free orbit. With the exception of the occaisional comet or asteroid, the Sun and the Moon are the only two heavenly bodies that affect the Earth.
Heavenly bodies, by their very definition, are not "in the world" - they are in the heavens - that is, they are out of this world. Heavenly bodies include the Sun, the moon, the planets of the solar system and other stars and their planets. They are - literally - too many to count.
If you ask me ill answer constellations.star clusters and other unencuded heavenly bodies.
The common heavenly body in the solar system is Planets. The other heavenly bodies in the solar system are: 1.Moon(moons are not only in Earth, but also in other planets) 2.Dwarf Planets 3.Asteroids 4.Stars 5.Comets
