What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
What substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest to pull on?
Water in the oceans it is what gives us our tides.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
What force causes the most obvious effect on the earth's tides?
Gravitational pull of the moon.
How does the moon affect earth's water?
It's gravitational pull creates our tides and currents.
What has the greatest effect on changing tides?
the pull of the moon's gravity
What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
They are both affected by the moons gravitional pull, but from different extremes.
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.

Ocean tides are caused by what?
Tides are mainly caused by the pull of the moon.
How would the tides on earth be diffrent if the moon revolved around earth in 15 day instead of 30day?
the moon's gravitional pull on earth decreases with the moon distance from earth
How does the moon effect the rising of the sea?
because of the gravitational pull that is how tides are made
Is the gravitational pull of the tides just the moon or the moon and sun?
The tides are caused by Both the Sun and the Moon but, the Moon has agreater effect.
Which planet has the 2nd greastest gravitional pull?
Saturn
