The gravity of any body affects all other bodies.
In particular the gravity of the Moon creates the tides in bodies of water here on Earth. It also affects our planet's orbit and angle of tilt relative to the plane of its orbit.

Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
How does a galaxy's gravity affect a planet?
It has a minor gravitational pull on it, but it will barely affect it.
How do the moons stay in orbit with jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and as such has a tremendous gravitational well. This gravity is what has enabled Jupiter to attract and keep in orbit its 67 moons.
What planet has 8 rings and 24 moons?
Jupiter, Saturn, neptune, and uranus have rings and moons. they are all gas giants. Saturn is the planet that is known for my rings but many don't accept the privillage of the planet and its atmosphere Saturn
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What planet has shepherd satellites?
Saturn. These moons affect Saturn's rings by their gravity and so they sort of "shepherd" the rings in some places.
What captures most of the planets moons?
the gravitational pull of the gravity of the planet so in other words bigger planets more gravity, smaller planet less gravity. usually bigger planets have more moons
Does the size of a planet affect the moons of a planet?
yes it does cause i got that in my essay
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
Does he size of the planet seem to affect how many moons it has?
yes
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
Why are there no moons on smaller planet?
because the smaller planets have less mass, which means less gravity, so they won't attract any moons.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
Why are there no moons around moons?
Most moons orbit close enough to their planets that the planet's gravity would render any orbit around a moon unstable in the long term.
