Because of gravity.
Every thing pulls on everything else, but gravity is rather weak, so we only really notice it when we're talking about really big things like planets.
The Earth pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Earth.
But as it's a weak pull, the only place where we can see the pull with our naked eyes is on water, which slides around fairly easily. Even then we pretty much only see it on the oceans, where a lot of water cooperates to move a tiny bit all over.
What else can I help you with?
How does the moon effect the earths ocean?
Everything that weighs something (has a mass) attracts other things - so do the Earth and Moon, but because water moves easily - the Moon attracts only the water so that there is higher waterlevel on the Moon-side of Earth (in average in 24h) than on the non-moon side. As the Moon moves around the Earth it "pushes" the water in front of it, forming what we know as the tide. When the Moon and Sun are on the same side of the Earth the tidal stream is much stronger. All this is the main reason for streams in the oceans.
Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Does the water on the moon have protein in it?
There is no evidence to suggest that water on the moon contains protein. Water present on the moon, typically in the form of ice, lacks the necessary components for proteins to form. Proteins are complex molecules comprised of amino acids, which are not found in abundance on the moon.
How does the moon's density compare to water?
The density of water is 1000 kg m-3 The density of the moon is 3346.4 kg m-3 So the density of the moon is 3.3464 times that of water.
Do you have one moon?
Yes, so do you since Earth only has one.
Why water do not go towards the moon if moon attracts it?
The earth's gravity is far stronger than that of the moon, so it overpowers it.
Which explains how the moon causes low tides on earth?
The Sun and the Moon influence the Earth's tides. When the Moon attracts the ocean nearest to it by gravitation pull, it creates a dome of water. As the dome rises so water is pulled away from areas out of reach of the Moon's main attraction, causing an ebb tide. As the influence of the Moon lessens as it orbits the Earth, so the dome moves on and the water flows back forming a flood tide.

What Attracts Faries?
Faries are not real, so the only thing that attracts them would be whatever the author of the story they are in decides.
Why is it called a moon pool?
its called a moon pool because its like a volcanio when a full moon forms it shines in the top and there is water in side so if you get in the water u will turn in to a mermaid or merman only if there is a full moon no excapions only on a full moon its called mako island its in calforina
What Tides result from the rising and falling of the ocean's surface?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's oceans. Basically, the sun and moon attracts water in one area, so drawing the surface upwards. This results in an ebbing tide in other areas. When the moon's influence is removed, the water drops and a flood tide results.
Does the object weigh more on the earth or moon?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?

How does the moon effect your environment?
As we all know that moon has no air and water. It is only reflecting sun light.It is so stif [stiff] when we walk on Moon a person waits 60kg ,on moon he would wait10kg
What is the Hypothesis of the moon and tides?
The moon has just enough gravity to pull water to the sand of the beach. The moon has very little gravitational pull so it does not influence anything else on Earth. The tides are the only gravitational pull effect from the moon.
Is there a Japanese flag on the moon?
No. Only Americans have walked on the moon so there is an American flag on the moon.
Why did the Astronauts jump high on the moon?
their is only one sixth the gravity on the moon compared to earth, so when you jump its like jumping in water, or throwing a feather or a piece of paper in the air.
