The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
Why does the gravitational attraction between earth and the moon changes each day?
The Moon has an elliptical orbit.
Why are you NOT weightless on the moon?
Because the Moon has mass, a LOT of mass. If something has mass, it will have gravitational attraction. The more mass, the greater the attraction. The moon has ~1/6th the gravity as the Earth.
What holds the moon up in the sky?
The orbital path of the moon and gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth keep it up there where it is supposed to be.
How does newton's law of universal gravity relate to ocean movements?
The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon, and to a lesser degree, the gravitational attraction of the sun, on the oceans.
Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and what other celestial body?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. The gravitational pull of these two celestial bodies on Earth's oceans creates the regular rise and fall of the water level along coastlines.
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
What Outgoing tide?
The periodic variation in the surface level of the oceans and of bays, gulfs, inlets, and estuaries, caused by gravitational attraction of the moon and sun.
What is outgoing tide?
The periodic variation in the surface level of the oceans and of bays, gulfs, inlets, and estuaries, caused by gravitational attraction of the moon and sun.
What does the moon have to do with your oceans?
Gravitational pull.
What is a low tide?
the lowest point to which the water level of lakes, rivers and oceans as water moves away from the shore because of the moon's gravitational attraction
Does gravity from the moon and earth form tides?
No, it is the gravitational attraction of the moon.
Why gravitational attraction on moon is one-sixth of the gravitational attraction on earth?
The moons mass is 1/6th the mass of the Earth.
How can you determine the mass of Moon?
By the force of its gravitational attraction.
How tides are formed?
the moon pules the water, wind can also cause it
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
