The moon's gravity pulls on the Earth's oceans, creating tides. When the moon is at different positions relative to the Earth, it causes different tide patterns such as high tides and low tides. This gravitational force from the moon is the main factor that influences the ocean tides.
The Moon influences Earth in various ways: it creates tides through its gravitational pull, stabilizes Earth's axial tilt, which affects the seasons, and influences animal behavior and the growth of plants. Additionally, the Moon's phases have cultural and spiritual significance for many societies.
The moon and Earth are each affected by each other's gravity and rotate around a center of mass which is actually within Earth, since Earth is far larger in mass. Because of the Earth's large force of gravity on the moon, the moon has undergone synchronous orbit i.e. always faces the same face to the Earth. On the other hand, the moon influences the Earth by causing tides on Earth (two high and two low tides a day as well as larger pattern spring/neap tides).
The Moon effects the tides
The Moon's orbit causes tidal effects on Earth due to its gravitational pull. This leads to the rising and falling of ocean tides. Additionally, the Moon's orbit influences the length and timing of Earth's day as well as the tilt of its axis, affecting our planet's climate and seasons.

The Moon is about twice as influencing as the Sun.

The earth's moon influences (affects) the ocean tides.
None, its the other way around: The Moon influences the tides on Earth
The Moon influences Earth in various ways: it creates tides through its gravitational pull, stabilizes Earth's axial tilt, which affects the seasons, and influences animal behavior and the growth of plants. Additionally, the Moon's phases have cultural and spiritual significance for many societies.
Ocean tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's water. The moon's gravitational force creates the two high tides and two low tides that occur every day. The sun's gravitational force also influences tides, but to a lesser extent than the moon.
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
