What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
How does newtons law of universal gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
What are the two main factors that influence tides on earth?
Gravitational by the sun, Venus and the moon.
What tide causes the gravity of the sun and moon pull earth's surface at right angle?
spring
What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
What causes the Moon to revolve around Earth?
The gravitational pull of the earth and the gravitation of the moon both contribute to make the moon orbit Earth. In a similar fashion, Earth orbits around the sun due to gravitational pull.
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
The pull of the moon on Earth's tidal bulge is causing .?
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.
What is gravity's effect on the universe?
It keeps the planets orbiting the sun The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes tides on Earth, And satellites
What causes ocean tides?
The Sun i think NO!!! It's the gravitational pull of the MOON!!! As it pull the Earth from opposite sides, it causes the tides. This "pull" on the Earth elongates the Earth by about 8 ft in opposite directions. I really hope you didn't use the SUN answer as your final answer. :)
Why do you get the tides?
Because both the moon and the sun have a gravtational pull on the earth. The water also experiences gravitational pull. This causes the water to rise.
