The main effect is the tides, Without the Moon's gravity the tides would be about one quarter as high as they are now, they would be the same every day, and there would be no spring tides or neap tides.

Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
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.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Mass and gravity
Why are small moons like Deimos potato shaped while larger moons are spherical?
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
Is surface gravity caused by moons?
No of couse not u stupid
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
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.
How does the Moon's gravity effects the tides on Earth?
The moons' gravity pulls on the part of the ocean water facing the moon making it higher so that it covers more of the shoreline.
Is it true that tides are caused by the moons gravitational pull?
Yes, though the sun's gravity also plays a large part.
What is the rising she falling off the ocean surface caused by the moon pull off gravity?
Gravity and the pull of the moon are the same thing. The pull of the moon is caused by the moons' gravity.
What are the 2 examples caused by Gravity?
We are immersed in gravity fields. So there are uncountable examples of gravitational effects that can be answered here. But in general attraction and acceleration are the two major effects caused by gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the source of that gravity force. And typically if the objects can move freely they'll accelerate as they move towards the source.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
Why is gravity caused?
The cause of gravity is an on-going field of research. All that we know for certain are the effects that gravity has (i.e. mass distorting space in a way that attracts things towards it).
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 keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
