What happens because the moons gravity pulls on the earth?
Together, they pirouette around a common centre of gravity, also the moon causes a bulge in the seas on earth (high tides)
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
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.
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
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.
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.
Are there planets with gravity you can walk on?
All matter causes gravity. Every planet will have a gravitational attraction. Certainly Earth, Mars, our Moon, and the Jovian moons Callisto and Ganymede will be walkable.
How tides occurs on Earth?
From the pull of the moons gravity.
Does the moons gravity affects the earth?
It creates the tides.
How is gravity generated on the moon?
All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
