The Moon's gravity primarily causes ocean tides on Earth, creating a regular rise and fall of sea levels. This gravitational pull affects water bodies, leading to high tides when the Moon is directly overhead and low tides when it is on the opposite side. Additionally, the Moon's gravitational influence contributes to slight variations in Earth's rotation and axial tilt.

Do all of the moons not have gravity?

Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.


Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?

No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.


Is our moons gravity one sixth of earth's gravity?

Yes, approximately.


Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?

The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.


Are there planets with gravity you can walk on?

All matter causes gravity. Every planet will have a gravitational attraction. Certainly Earth, Mars, our Moon, and the Jovian moons Callisto and Ganymede will be walkable.


How tides occurs on Earth?

What cause moons gravity?

It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.


What is the main substance affected by the moons gravity?

The main substance affected by the Moon's gravity on Earth is water. This gravitational force causes the ocean tides to rise and fall in response to the Moon's position in its orbit around Earth.
