What else can I help you with?
Does gravity from the moon and earth form tides?
No, it is the gravitational attraction of the moon.
Does the moon have more gravitational attraction than earth?
No, the moon does not have more gravitational attraction than Earth. In fact, Earth's gravitational pull is significantly stronger due to its larger mass. The moon's gravity is about one-sixth that of Earth's, which is why objects weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.
What connection does the moon sun and earth have with earthquakes?
Gravitational attraction
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?

Why does the gravitational attraction between earth and the moon changes each day?
The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon does not change significantly on a daily basis. However, the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun do create variations in the gravitational forces experienced, leading to phenomena like tides.
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
Why does the moon continue in its path around the Earth?
It is held in its orbit by the mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon.
The gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth extends how far?
The gravitational fields of both the Earth and Moon extend to infinity, but they reduce as 1 / distance-squared.
Why will the moon probably never be destroyed by the earth gravitational attraction?
The moon will probably never be destroyed by the Earth's gravitational attraction because it is in a stable orbit. Its orbit is kept stable by its high velocity, therefore the only way Earth's gravitational attraction could pull the moon out of its orbit and towards the Earth is if its course is changed or it is slowed down tremendously, perhaps by a large impact such as a meteor.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
Why is the gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth greater than the attraction of Earth to Sun?
The gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth is greater than that of Earth to the Sun because the gravitational force depends on both the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is to Earth, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull despite the Sun's much larger mass. The inverse-square law of gravitation means that even a small mass can exert a significant force if it is near enough. Therefore, the proximity of the Moon enhances its gravitational influence on Earth compared to the more distant Sun.
