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.
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
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.
16.55% as strong on the surface.
1. it is 6 times less than gravity on earth 2. 3.
No, a planet's moons and atmosphere do not directly affect its gravity. Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
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.
The oceans

No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
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.
Yes, approximately.
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.
From the pull of the moons gravity.
It creates the tides.
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
