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.
Does the moon also pull on earth?
Yes. The effect of this is seen on tidal water. Tidal water is a "wave" following the moon around the earth as the moon moves.
When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
What dose the moon do for the earth?
It reflects the light from the sun to the Earth, and generates tidal forces that effect large bodies of water.
What happens when the moon travels around the earth?
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.

What effect of the earth-moon system causes the water bulge on the side of the earth farthest from the moon?
The moon's gravity attracts the water.

How does the spinning of the earth effect earth's water?
It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.
Does Earth cause tides on the moon?
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.

How does the moon infleunce the earth?
The moon influences the Earth by pulling the Earth towards it. This effect produces about 1 m rise of the oceans on one side of the Earth (the side closest to the moon). This causes the tides and when in line with the Sun both gravity from the Sun and the moon effect the Earth adding up and causing a much larger pull which causes the high tides.
How does the moon effect the ocean tide?
the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas
