The gravitational pull of the earth is stronger than the gravitational pull of the moon. This doesn't mean that the gravitational pull of the moon has no effect, it's just that the effect is very hard to notice, except on something like tides, because they involve literally all of the earth's oceans. The moon's gravity is affecting you and everything on earth right now; but the effects are so tiny they can't be noticed. It's only when you combine all of the moon's entire gravitational energy over the entire earth that you can notice its effect - with tides.

What causes the t ides?
Tides are caused due to the gravitational pull of the Moon which causes the ocean to bulge out, towards its direction.
What direction do tides moves?
At the simplest level, the tides point towards AND away from the moon. (The solar tides point towards AND away from the sun.) The Earth's rotation causes these 2 (or 4) high points to move towards the west.
What causes daily tides?
Daily tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth's water. As the Earth rotates, the water is pulled towards the Moon, resulting in high tides. The Sun's gravitational force also plays a role in the tides, creating variations known as spring and neap tides.
What is the object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides?
The object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides is the Moon. Its gravitational force causes the water to bulge towards it, creating high tides.
There are two high and two low tides each day This is a result of which earth movement?
The two high and two low tides each day are a result of the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans as Earth rotates. This causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards the direction of the moon and sun, creating high tides, and causing low tides in other areas.
How does the gravitational pull of the moon affect the tides on Earth?
The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water on Earth to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides. As the Earth rotates, this bulge moves around, causing two high tides and two low tides each day.
What are nuclear tides?
There is no such thing as nuclear tides.
What causes spring tides and neap tides in the ocean?
Spring tides are caused by the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
What causes the tides and how tides affect the earth?
The moon They dont
What ocean movements are affected by the moon gravity?
Ocean tides are primarily affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. The gravitational attraction between the moon and Earth causes the water in the ocean to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides. As Earth rotates, areas not aligned with the moon experience low tides. This movement is known as tidal flow.
What causes the changes in sea level?
Tides, evaporation, weather, wind, and other natural phenomena.
