The Earth's oceans bulge primarily on the side of the planet that faces the Moon due to its gravitational pull. This creates a tidal force that causes water to be drawn towards the Moon, resulting in a high tide. A second bulge occurs on the opposite side of the Earth, where the centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation around the Earth-Moon center of mass causes another high tide. These tidal bulges are what create the regular rise and fall of ocean levels known as tides.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the Moon's gravity affects the ocean through tidal forces, causing the oceans to bulge out on the sides facing the Moon and on the opposite side. This results in the regular rise and fall of sea levels known as tides.
How strong is the earths moons gravatational pull?
The gravitational pull of Earth's moon is about 1/6th that of Earth. This pull is what causes tides on Earth and keeps the moon in orbit around our planet. It also affects the Earth's rotation and the tilt of its axis.
Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?
Yes, the gravitational pull of the Moon causes a slight bulge in the Earth's land, water, and atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as tidal bulging, resulting in the high and low tides we observe on Earth's surface.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is the moons relationship with the sea?
The moon's gravitational pull causes the ocean's tides to rise and fall. As the moon orbits the Earth, it creates a bulge in the ocean that follows it around, causing high and low tides. This relationship between the moon and the sea is known as tidal forces.
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
What is th earths moons called?
The Moon
Are mars moons larger than the earths?
No.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the Moon's gravity affects the ocean through tidal forces, causing the oceans to bulge out on the sides facing the Moon and on the opposite side. This results in the regular rise and fall of sea levels known as tides.
Where is the earth pulled on from the moons gravitational pull?
The oceans
How strong is the earths moons gravatational pull?
The gravitational pull of Earth's moon is about 1/6th that of Earth. This pull is what causes tides on Earth and keeps the moon in orbit around our planet. It also affects the Earth's rotation and the tilt of its axis.
Earths moons and rings?
One moon, no rings.
What colors are earths two moons?
Red and green.
What is the percentage of the earths diameter from the moons diameter?
90/
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
What of Jupiters moons may have life on it?
Europa has frozen oceans.
What is responsible for the earths moons phases?
Controlling the earth's tides.
