What else can I help you with?
Main cause of high and low tides?
The gravity of the Moon, and to a lesser extent, the gravity of the Sun.
Are the tides on earth caused by the gravity?
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
What dothe moon's gravity cause?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
Why is weight not the same as mass?
For example, the same object (with the same mass) will be affected differently by Earth's gravity, and by the lesser gravity on the Moon (i.e., its weight will change).
Does the suns gravity affect the earths tides?
Yes, but to a much lesser extent than that of the Moon (the Moon is less massive but much closer than the Sun).
Why doesn't the gravity of the sun and moon affect us?
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.
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.

Is the acceleration on the moon less or more powerful than on earth?
Gravity on the moon is lower than earth since it had lesser mass. The falling object would accelerate at slower speed on the moon compare to earth.
Why there is no gravity in moon?
There is gravity on the moon.
Are astronauts on the moon weightless?
No, astronauts on the moon are not weightless. They have weight due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means they experience a lesser force of gravity compared to Earth, allowing them to move more easily on the lunar surface.
How moon produce tides if there is no gravity on moon?
The moon does have gravity. Surface gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
When boating on coastal waters it is important to be aware of the tides. What can tides cause?
The gravity of the Moon, and to a lesser extent the Sun, causes tides.
