When earths gravity is more than a moon then how does moon gravity effect on the earth?

I am not entirely certain that I understand what you are asking. I will assume that you are asking this question: Given that the gravitational pull exerted by the earth is stronger than that exerted by the moon, what are the effects of the moon's gravitational pull on the earth?
Even though we think of the moon circling the earth - as if the earth's gravity affected the moon but not vice versa - this is not strictly true. The earth and the moon actually revolve around a single common point located on the line joining their centres.
The key point is this: Any body with mass, even only a tiny mass, will exert a gravitational pull on all other objects, no matter how massive those other objects are, and in some way "affect" those other objects.

How much smaller is the Moon's gravity to the earths?
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;
How much is gravity on Earth compared to the moon?
The moon has one-sixth of the Earths gravity.
Which place is Center of the Earth?
The centre of the earth is solid iron, however the centre of the earths gravitational pull changes, due to the movement of the moon, which has an effect on the earths gravity.
Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?
Because the moon is much, much closer to the earth, so the earths immediate gravity has more of an effect on the moon. But the moon-earth "package" together both orbit the sun.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
What makes moon orbits earth?
Gravity. The moon orbits the earth because the moon is stuck in earths gravational pull.
What makes moon revolve?
the earths gravity holds the moon so it orbits the earth.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
How does Earth has gravity?
the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
How do Earth and moon move through the space?
they are pulled by the Earths gravity
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
