It does. Earth is moved by the gravity of the sun and, to a lesser degree the moon. We are move by almost the same amount and so we move with Earth. Since Earth's surface is our point of reference and we are moving with it, we don't notice it. We observe the effects of the gravity of the sun and moon in the tides.

What are caused by gravity from the moon and the sun?

The fact that the Earth and Moon remain in our respective orbits and do not go hurtling into the void. That's probably the most IMPORTANT thing.As an entirely trivial side note, the gravity of the Moon and Sun contribute to the tides in the Earth's oceans.TidesAlthough the Sun and the moon have their own special affect on the Earth, the one thing they do affect together are the tides.


Does the sun have greater gravity than the moon?

The sun definitely has more gravity than the moon. Gravity is based on mass, and the sun is much more massive.

Does the sun have less gravity than the moon?

No. Gravity is a function of mass, and the sun's mass is about 27,000,000 times the mass of the moon.

Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?

Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.


How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?

the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.


How does moon affect the weather?

water is cold so when the moon and the sun makes a tide the place with the tide would be cold.the reason that tides come is because of the gravity of the moon and the sun is pulling the water up to it.


Do you feel the sun's gravity more or the Moon's?

How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


How does gravity affect oceans?

Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
