What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon make tides?
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes the ocean tides. The gravitational force creates a "stretching" effect on the Earth, with tides occurring as the Earth rotates within the "bulge" of water created by the moon's gravity.
How did gravitational contraction affect earth?
Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?
Another moon would not affect Earth's gravity. The gravity a body exerts is determined by its mass, not by the mass of objects affected by it. This would, however affect other things, chief among them tides, which are controlled by the gravity of the moon.
How does the moons gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
The gravitational force of the moon causes tidal bulges in the Earth's crust, leading to the rise and fall of ocean tides. This gravitational interaction between the moon and the Earth also contributes to the phenomenon of Earth's rotation slowing down over time.
What is the primary reason for tides on Earth?
The gravitational affect of the moon.
How does movement affect us?
We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.
How does the moon affect things on earth?
the moon effect's the earth in ways of it's gravitational pull
What variables affect Gravitational potential energy?
The variables that affect gravitational potential energy are the object's mass, the height at which the object is lifted, and the strength of the gravitational field (usually constant near the surface of the Earth).
Is earths orbit a gravitational force?
yes because it helps our earth to take movement
Is gravitational attraction varies directly with tilt of the earth axis?
No the Earth's gravitational attraction is caused by its mass. It varies slightly because the Earth is an oblate spheroid not a sphere, and as a result of variation in the density of crustal rocks. The tilt of Earth's axis has no affect on gravitational attraction.
Will the gravitational poles switch?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the gravitational poles will switch. The Earth's magnetic poles can undergo a reversal, but this does not affect the gravitational poles. The gravitational pull on Earth is primarily due to the mass of Earth itself, not the orientation of its magnetic field.
How does Earth orbit the sun and what factors influence its movement in space?
Earth orbits the sun due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. Factors that influence Earth's movement in space include its velocity, mass, and the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies like the moon and planets.
