The moon is the Earth's only natural satellite. Our moon is the fifth largest in the whole solar system, and is approximately ¼ the size of the earth. The moons gravitational pull stabilizes the Earth so it doesn't wobble on its axis. The moon and the Sun controls the Earth's tides.
Yes if the moon was not there Earths oceans would still be tidal.
Every object in the universe creates a tide on earth. Most of these tides are so minutely small that they become irrelevant. The moon certainly has the biggest effect on tide followed closely by the sun.
The spring tide is due to the combined gravitational influence of both the sun and the moon.
Jupiter also plays a much smaller part in tides on earth.
Yes, if Earth didn't have a moon, Earth would still have ocean tides because of the Sun. However, although the sun's gravitational pull is very strong, tides wouldn't be as high because the Sun is farther away from Earth than the moon is.
Yes, if Earth didn't have a moon, Earth would still have ocean tides because of the Sun. However, although the sun's gravitational pull is very strong, tides wouldn't be as high because the Sun is farther away so its gravitational pull is weaker.
Then the tides would be much weaker. We would still have some tides, caused by the Sun.
yes, if we dont have the moon the tides arnt right
It helps us by shifting the water in the oceans and seas round regularly so it does not stagnate.
Many scientists believe that the presence of Earth's large Moon prevented the development of an oppressively hot climate similar to the atmosphere of Venus.
Yes!, waves would still be generated by the wind.
No, without the moon we will have no seasons, the tides will be effected dramatically and it would eventually extinct human life.
Yes. The Sun's gravitational influence can make the tides stronger or weaker, but the Moon by itself would also produce tides.
No Because Its White
Yes (until the oceans freeze).
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.
The Sun and the Moon.
No Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low. Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
"Spring" tides are higher-than-normal tides that occur when the Moon is full or new; when the tidal forces of the Sun and Moon are additive. Lower-than-normal "neap" tides happen when the Moon is at the 1st or 3rd quarter, when the Moon and the Sun are working at cross-purposes on the tides.
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
no a planet with out moons can not have tides because it will not have that second gravitaional pull both from the sun and the moon
No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
The tides are caused by Both the Sun and the Moon but, the Moon has agreater effect.
Yes, the the gravitational pull of the moon and sun create tides.
They rotate around each other, and work together to create tides.
The two celestial bodies with the most profound effect upon Earth's tides are Earth's moon and the Sun.
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
Yes, the the gravitational pull of the moon and sun create tides.
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
