Why is there a high tide on the side of the earth closets to the moon?
Because the moons gravitational force pulls the water upwards.
What affects the heights of tides?
The gravitational pull of the sun, Earth, and moon.
What causes Saturn's rings to vary in width creating a rippled pattern?
The gravitational pull of the moons pull the rings outward while the gravitational pull of Saturn pulls the rings inward
What is the relationship between the tide and the moon?
the gravity of the moon greatly affects the tides.
How do currents work?
currents are effected by a lot of things one of them is the moon. The moons gravitational pulls the waves towards it causing waves to move
What effect does the moon have when it revolves around Earth?
If the Earth's crust were a lighter substance, the moon would pull it into the shape of a football. This is because of the moons gravitational pull. It pulls on one side of the Earth, and to the core, which brings the gravitational pull to the opposite side as well. The moon also pulls the water on Earth.
What planets have high gravitational pulls?
Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls
Why do giant planets have many more moons than terrestrial planets?
Gas giants are larger and there for have a stronger gravitational pull. When the solar system was forming, the larger planets with greater gravitational pulls collected more satellites and therefore have more moons.
Why do some planets have more moons than other planets?
All matter has a gravitational pull. Even you have a gravitational pull too. It is just that since your mass isn't quite as big as the Earth, your you can't see things moving towards you. When you jump, the Earth pulls you down. THat is cause the Earth is considerably bigger than you and you are attracted to the Earth. Some planets have more moons because of their mass. Since they are bigger and more massive, they pull much more stuff around them to orbit.
We know that the gravitational force of the earth pulls objects down we see them fallin down but don't see objects moving up Why?
gravity is pulling not pushing but to settle this mater the reason we have low tide high tide is because of the moons gravitational pull in the water.
Is the force that pulls object's down?
Gravitational potential energy pulls objects back down
What is The name that pulls earth to the sun?
the gravitational pull
