The entire earth is affected by the moon. The earth is influenced in several ways by the moon, the most important being: - Attraction between masses; - Reflection of light. - The attraction between the earth and the moon has a direct influence on earth's water resulting in the tides; - This attraction also result in small oscillations on the otherwise ecliptic path around the sun. The center of gravity of the earth and its moon combined follows this 'perfect' ecliptic path; - Finally, the reflection of the sun on the moon influences the amount of natural light available - essentially at night.

How is the moon affected by the earth?
The moon is affected by the Earth primarily through gravitational forces. This interaction leads to phenomena such as the moon orbiting the Earth, causing tidal effects on Earth's oceans, and influencing the moon's rotation to always keep one face toward Earth.
What is moon to earth?
a moon may be son of earth,part of earth.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
The tides on Earth are affected by the pull of gravity from the moon. This gravitational force causes the ocean to bulge on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, creating high and low tides.
Is the moon considered to be a part of earth?
No. The Moon is a separate object from Earth. However, Earth and the moon are sometimes regarded as a single Earth-moon system.

How would the earth be affected if there were no moon?
if there is no moon then there alway the sun which giving its heat &light
How do eclipses show that the moon is closer to us then the sun?
During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the Sun, which is the most obvious way. Another is that only a small part of the Earth is affected by a total solar eclipse, but during a total lunar eclipse, all of the Moon is affected. The complete part of a solar eclipse only lasts about 7 minutes. The complete part of a lunar eclipse lasts over 2 hours.

Is the the moon part of the earth or an asteroid?
Theory suggests that it is a remnant of a large asteroid that struck the Earth
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
Why does the Moon's shadow fall on part of the earth?
Because the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting the moon's shadow on Earth.
Why are Moon's rocks so simalar to earth's rocks?
The moon used to be part of the earth
Why is the satellite part of the earth?
The Moon is the satellite of the earth
