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
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.
The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?
The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.
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.
Watch the moon 101 video national goegraphic how does the moon influence the earth?
Watch the moon 101 video. Tides.
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.
What are the two main factors that influence tides on earth?
Gravitational by the sun, Venus and 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.
Is the force of the suns gravity on the moon the same as the suns gravity on earth?
Not particularly. The Earth's rotation around the Solar System is controlled by the Sun but the Moon is mostly controlled by the Earth, so the Sun really has more of an influence on the Earth than the Moon.
