Why moon rotates slower than earth?
The influence of the Earth has slowed down the rotation of the moon.
Why does the moon have a stronger influence on Earth's tides?
It's all down to the proximity of the moon to the Earth. If it was further away, tidal influence would be much less.
How does the moon influence the the earth's tilt?
It makes you nicer
What is the influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits?
The influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, such as the Earth and the Moon, that keeps them moving in their paths around each other.
Can you escape the earth gravity by going to the moon?
No. If you are on the moon, then the moon is the dominant gravitational body in your area, but the moon still orbits Earth and so is still very much under the influence of Earth's gravity.
What planets influence tides?
None of the planets influence the tides on Earth. Only the moon, which is not a planet, has a major impact on tides on Earth.
What does the moon do to earth when it orbits around it?
It has an influence on the earth's water, causing the ebb and flow of tides.
Which solar system body has the most influence on the earth's tides?
The Moon.
The moon orbits which planet?
From the point of view of a person on Earth, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the Earth. From the point of view of a person on the sun, the Earth's moon is in orbit around the sun, and is slightly perturbed in a regular, periodic fashion by the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
Describe the moon as a Satellite of earth that has a large enough mass to a create measurable influence on earth?
The moon is in fact a natural satellite of the Earth, and has quite a bit of consequence in our daily lives. In fact, without the mass of the moon causing tidal fluctuations on earth which stir up the seas, many scientists believe that life never would have developed here. The moon also has a small effect on your height. When the moon is directly above your head, you are a fraction of an inch taller because of the moon's gravitational pull.
What is the term used when the moon is farthest away from the earth?
The term used when the moon is farthest away from the Earth is "apogee." At apogee, the distance between the Earth and the moon reaches its maximum, which can affect the moon's appearance in the sky and its gravitational influence on Earth. This phenomenon occurs in the moon's elliptical orbit around our planet.
Why the moon has a greater influence on earth tides than the sun?
The moon has a greater influence on Earth's tides than the sun primarily due to its proximity to our planet. Although the sun is much larger, it is also much farther away, which diminishes its gravitational effect on Earth's oceans. The moon's gravitational pull creates a bulge in the water on the side of Earth facing the moon, as well as a second bulge on the opposite side due to the centrifugal force from the Earth-moon system. This results in the regular rise and fall of ocean levels known as tides, with the moon's influence being approximately twice as strong as that of the sun.
