Why does the moon effect earths surface water?
The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth's surface water. As the moon orbits, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out toward the moon, creating high tides. This effect is more noticeable in areas closer to the moon.
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.
What effect of the moon would you see if you lived by the sea?
The tide. An effect of the moon's gravity pulling the water towards it creating a slight bulge moon-side of the planet.
How does the moon affect the water in our body?
The moon's gravitational pull affects the water in our bodies, causing slight changes in water levels. This is known as the "lunar effect" or "moon's influence."
What is neaptide?
Tides are fluctuations in the height of bodies of water due to the gravitational effect of the moon. The water is high when the moon is directly overhead or on the other side of the world and low when the moon is on the horizon. This effect can be greater or lesser depending on whether the sun's gravitational effect is added to that of the moon. At full moon and new moon, when the moon is lined up with the sun, the tidal effect is at its greatest. This is called spring tide. But at the quarters the sun's gravity counteracts that of the moon and the tidal effect is less. This is called neap tide.
What is the effect on water when the moon the sun and earth are in line?
condensation
What is the effect on water when the moon the sun aNd. earth are. in line?
condensation
What is the effect on water when the sun moon and earth are in line?
condensation
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.
Is the water in the glass influenced by moon and sun gravitation?
Yes. The gravitation effects of the Moon and the Sun will have a slight tidal effect on the glass of water. The effect is just so small that is barely noticeable.
How does the moon affect the water in our bodies?
The moon's gravitational pull affects the water in our bodies, causing slight changes in our body's water levels. This is known as the "lunar effect" or "moon's influence on tides."
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.
