Does the moons orbit cause ice storms?

Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.


How does the moons orbit around the sun affect seasons?

It doesn't. It is the tilting of the Earth's axis that creates the seasons. The orbit of the Moon (and our orbit around the Sun) affects Earth's tides.

How does the moons orbit effect the earth?

The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.


Does earth orbit causes change in the tides?

Yes, the Earth's orbit around the sun, as well as the moon's orbit around the Earth, influence the gravitational forces that cause the tides. Tides change in intensity and height throughout the month based on the positions of the Earth, moon, and sun.

How many moons do the suns have?

The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.


Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?

Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
