How does the moon effect plant life?
The moon has many effects on plant life. The gravitational pull of the moon affect the tides and rainfall. It also affects the earth's air currents. The most rainfall occurs during a full moon.
Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
How are the earth and the moon opposite?
The earth harbors life, the moon cannot.
Which has the greatest effect the sun or the moon?
It depends on what effect you mean. The sun affects the weather on Earth the most and the moon affects the tides on Earth the most.
Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.

The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
How does the moon affect things on earth?

Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
Was there life on the moon?
No, The moon was created when Earth could not sustain life. The moon was pulled into Earth's Gravitational pull and now orbits around Earth.

The tides.
What is the effect of the moon on the earth like?
food
Why does higher mass give the moon uneven gravity?
The moon has uneven gravity because of the pull of the earth. Imagine the moon's effect on the earth and the tides of the ocean. The earth has a much greater effect on the moon because it is several times larger.
