How will absence of moon affect us?

Hi.If the moon was absent we would be literally screwed. Since the moon controls the Earths tides, no moon equals the whole world flooded one big ball of water.


How does the moon position affect the tides of earths ocean?

Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.

How does gravity affect oceans?

Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.

Does the earths moon have water?

Yes I think it does but it was frozen over years ago so there COULD of been life on the moon


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 does the moon effect earths surface water?

The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth's surface water. As the moon orbits, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out toward the moon, creating high tides. This effect is more noticeable in areas closer to the moon.
