What phenomena occurs as a result of gravitational attraction between the moon and Earth?

The tides, but more importantly, tidal friction, which gradually slows down the turning of both the earth, and the orbit of the moon, as well as the distance between the moon and the earth. In another billion years, the day will be about a half hour longer than it is now, and the moon will be another 20,000 miles further away than it is now. That also means, however, that the moon was 30% closer than it is now during its creation/arrival, and thus the tides would have been at 30% more extreme than they are now. - A Huisenfeldt

What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?
The object is said to be weightless. If this occurs between the earth and the moon, the point where this occurs is called the null point.
Does the moon have anything to do with the tide?
Yes, the gravitational attraction of the Moon is the chief agent creating tides.
Why isn't time a variable that affects the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?
To calculate the gravitational force between two objects, all you need is the mass of those two objects, and the distance between their gravitational centers. If You know that, you can calculate the magnitude of the force, and it doesn´t matter if that situation occurs right now, in 2 days, or in 1357. If you want anything to change (force magnitude, distance or whatever you want), of course, you need time, but you cannot make any statements about a physical situation if you only know the time, or how much time has passed.
What occurs when the moon moves between the sun and earth?
A solar eclipse occurs.
When the earth is between the moon and the sun occurs?
When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
How gravitational contraction occur in planet Jupiter?
It occurs in the same way as everywhere else. The greater the mass the more powerful the gravitational attraction.
The strongest gravitational force occurs between earth and?
the Sun.
What type of force occurs between any two objects?
A gravitational force occurs between any two objcets.
What category of force occurs from interactions between objects?
Gravitational force
What is the name of the attraction that occurs between any two objects?
Force of gravity.
Describe the particle attraction that occurs as sodium chloride dissolves in water?
Dissolving and dissociation involve the removal of the attraction between particles.
What bond is really more an attraction and occurs between water molecules?
the hydrogen bond.
What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selections?
natural selection occurs due to natural phenomena (e.g. changes in diet or predators).artificial selection occurs due to human generated phenomena (e.g. breeding or domestication).
What occurs between oppositely charged ions?
Ther is an electrical force of attraction between oppsitely charged ions.
What occurs in ionic bonding?
The ionic bond bond is based on the electrostatic attraction between ions.
What type of bonding occurs between the polyatomic ion and another ion?
Bonding is essentially electrostatic attraction between ions.
Creeping is the phenomena occurs in?
energy meter
