If the Earth and moon stood still, the moon's gravitational pull would still exert a significant influence on the oceans, creating a constant tidal effect. This would result in a bulge of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon, leading to higher tides, while the opposite side would experience a lower tide. However, without the Earth's rotation to create the typical tidal cycle, these effects would be more static, resulting in prolonged high and low tides on the same sides of the Earth. Overall, the gravitational interaction would still be present, but its dynamics would differ greatly from our current experience.

How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?

The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.


Do all of the moons not have gravity?

Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.


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.


Where is the earth pulled on from the moons gravitational pull?

The oceans


How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?

No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.


Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?

Yes, the Moon's gravity affects the ocean through tidal forces, causing the oceans to bulge out on the sides facing the Moon and on the opposite side. This results in the regular rise and fall of sea levels known as tides.


Is our moons gravity one sixth of earth's gravity?

Yes, approximately.


Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?

The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.


How tides occurs on Earth?

From the pull of the moons gravity.


Does the moons gravity affects the earth?

It creates the tides.


How does gravity affect tides?

Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
