The moon does not have a greater effect on the earth than the sun, the moon effects the earth in a different way:
The sun effects the earth by locking it in a gravitational orbit through the force of intertia, and effecting it's temperateness and density.
The moon effects it on a closer short term basis by manipulating ocean and weather conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Which pulls with greater force on the earth's oceans the sun or the moon?
The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
What has the greater affect on tides the moon or the sun?
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Earth's volume is how many times greater than the Moon's?
The volume of the Earth is 50 times greater than the volume of the Moon.

What has the greater affect on tides the moon or the sun?
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
Why does the moon have a greater affect on tides then the sun does?
Though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is closer to Earth than the Sun. So exerts a greater gravitation effect on Earth's oceans and seas.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Earth's volume is how many times greater than the Moon's?
The volume of the Earth is 50 times greater than the volume of the Moon.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
Why is the effect of the sun on earths tides less than that on the moon?
The moon has a much greater effect on Earth's tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger and more massive. This is primarily due to the moon's closer proximity to Earth. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. While the sun's mass is significantly larger than the moon's, its greater distance from Earth reduces its tidal influence to about half that of the moon.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
Why does the moon have a greater affect on earth tide than the sun?
The Moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
What is the characteristic of the earth that causes it to have greater gravity than the moon?
Gravity of any body is directly proportional to its mass,since the mass of earth is greater than that of moon so earth has greater gravity.
Which has a greater mass than earth the sun or moon?
The sun has a much greater mass than Earth, while the Moon has a smaller mass than Earth. The mass of the Sun is about 330,000 times greater than the mass of Earth, while the mass of the Moon is about 1/81st of Earth's mass.
