Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
How is the ocean affected by the moon?
By gravity. The Moon (and to a slightly lesser extent the Sun) exerts a gravitational force on the ocean (actually, on the whole Earth, but it's easier for the ocean, being liquid, to reshape itself in response) that produces the tides.
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
How is the moon affected by the earth?
The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit.
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides

The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit.
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.
What kind of water movements are caused by the Moon's gravity?
tidal currents
What governs the tides?
Tides are mostly affected by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
Is the moon affected by the gravity of other planets?
Yes, as all things are affected by everything else's gravity (But at very minute amounts.)
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
Its gravity has a minor infulence in the ocean tides?
The Moon
What forces are responsible for ocean current?
The moon's gravity
What are the things that affect the height of an ocean wave?
the pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean.
