How does the moon affect things on earth?
the moon effect's the earth in ways of it's gravitational pull
What force causes the most obvious effect on the earth's tides?
Gravitational pull of the moon.
Does earth's gravity pull on sun?
Yes, there is a gravitational pull that works both ways. Just as the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Earth, likewise the gravitational pull of the moon has its effect on the Earth, most commonly seen in its effects on the tides of the ocean. No doubt the gravitational pull of the Sun also effects ocean tides and other unseen effects.
What is the Hypothesis of the moon and tides?
The moon has just enough gravity to pull water to the sand of the beach. The moon has very little gravitational pull so it does not influence anything else on Earth. The tides are the only gravitational pull effect from the moon.
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.
Tides are caused by the pull between the earth and the?
The gravitational pull of the Moon has the greatest influence on the Earth's tides but the Sun also has some effect.
How far from the earth is the gravitational pull of the earth the same as the gravitational pull of the moon?
i dont now
Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?
No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull
If the moon causes tides then why don't other thing rise up towards the moon?
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.
When is the moon gravition pull the strongest?
The mutual gravitational forces between the Moon and the Earth are strongest when the distance between the two bodies is smallest. Just like the mutual gravitational forces between any other two bodies.
How does tide happens?
The tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth, and its effect on the water levels of the oceans.
What phase of the moon does it have the strongest gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of the moon, on the earth, is almost a constant - whatever its phase.
