1. Tidal effect: the moon's gravitational force affects the oceans tides.
2. The earth wobbles slightly on its axis due to the force of the moon on the earth.
3. The earth is very slightly lopsided.
4. Electromagnetic forces between the earth and moon interact with each other, although the moon's magnetic field is very weak in comparison to that of the earth.

How does the tilt of earths axis effect how the suns rays strike earth?
I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
The moon is a natural what of the earth?
the moon is a natural satellite of the earth
Which natural satellite of the Earth illuminated by the sun?
The moon is the only natural satellite the Earth has. The Moon has a formal name and is known as La Luna. A natural satellite is something orbiting another body, that is not man-made. There are many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth, but the moon is the only natural satellite. The Moon itself has no known natural satellites. Many of the other planets of our solar system have more than one moon and so have many natural satellites.The Moon, orbits at an average distance of 234,000 miles (376,000 km). The Moon has a diameter of about 2100 miles (3400 km), about one-fourth that of Earth. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system.
If there was no Sun could the Moon crash into Earth?
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
What are the effects of suns paths on earth?
the moon
Were does the moon and earth get its light from?
The moon and earth get there light from the sun when the sun shines onto the moon the moon reflects the suns light onto the 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.
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
How come the moon reflects the suns light and things on earth dont reflect the suns light?
The moon reflects the suns light and things on the eart do notreflect it because it is at an angle in which the light does not reach earth. So if the light falls on the earth at night there would be light but because it not reflect it on earth it is dark at night.
How is gravity generated on the moon?
All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.
Why when your above the earth the moon never changes and when your on earth they change phases?
because of the suns reflections
How is the moon like earth in regard to the suns rays?
ioiy gyggj yugt
What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
What blocks the sun?
Clouds, buildings, sun block (cream or lotion applied to the skin). A solar eclipse, the moon blocks the suns rays from striking the Earth. Lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon.
Is the moon a light souse?
technically it reflects the suns light back towards the earth
