What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
What causes earth to have tides?
The Moon is the cause for tides rising and falling
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
What is the dominant cause of tides on earth?
Gravitational force is, between the Earth and both the sun and moon.
How does the moon cause earthquakes?
It is not presently known for certain that the moon causes earthquakes, but it is likely that the moon does have, at least, some effect. The moon has gravity of its own, and the pull of this gravity reaches out to earth as the moon orbits the earth, reducing the effect of earth's gravity over the portion of the earth that is directly under a moon. Earth's gravity is what holds the planet together -- it holds the atmosphere in place, the oceans on the crust, the crust on the mantle and keeps the mantle and core in place. This small but continuous tug on the Earth can cause resettling and friction within the earth, which can create earthquakes, especially in constant motion as the Moon is in orbit of the earth. The Moon has quakes of its own (the Apollo program left seismology instruments on the Moon to measure this), and it is believed some of the deep moonquakes are caused by Earth's tidal effects on the Moon.
Does the position of earth and the moon cause Moon's phase?
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
What does the Moon's orbit cause on earth?
On Earth, the Moon's orbit shows up as tides.
What does the moon cause on earth that you can see?
The moon causes Tides
When the moon revolves around the earth what does it cause?
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
Which planet has the moon Luna?
earth, cause Luna is Latin for moon!
The of the earth sun and moon cause the phases of the moon and eclipses?
yes
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
What is the cause of the different phases of the moon?
That's caused by the motions of Earth-Moon system around the Sun and Moon around the Earth.
When earth shadow falls on the moon does this cause a solar eclipse?
No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
