Everything has it's own gravity. The bigger the mass the stronger the gravity. The Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards us, but the moon has its own gravity and, as it isn't strong enough to effect the planet as a whole, so instead it pulls the oceans towards it. As the earth rotates one side is always closest to the moon and is effected the most. This pulling of the oceans towards the moon is how tides work
What else can I help you with?
How does the moon effect the earths seasons?
The moon does not directly affect Earth's seasons; rather, it is the tilt of Earth's axis that causes the change in seasons. The moon's gravitational pull does play a role in creating tides on Earth, but this does not impact the changing of the seasons.
How does the moon afect the waters of the earth?
The gravitational pull of the moon causes ocean tides by attracting the water towards it. This creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon, and a second bulge on the opposite side. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the world experience high and low tides.
What are earths tides caused by?
Earth's tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth and the Earth rotates on its axis, the gravitational forces create bulges in the ocean waters, causing high and low tides. The Sun's gravitational pull also contributes to the tides, but to a lesser degree due to its greater distance from Earth.
How does the earth's moon affect the earth's bodies of water?
The moon's gravitational pull causes tides in Earth's bodies of water. This pull creates two bulges in the ocean, leading to high and low tides. The tides are strongest during full and new moons when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned.
What is the major cause of different sea tides?
The major cause of different sea tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. The gravitational force from these celestial bodies creates bulges in the waters, leading to high and low tides as Earth rotates.
What the moon and weather affect the moon?
The Moon doesn't significantly affect weather on Earth, and weather on Earth doesn't affect the Moon at all.
Where do the moon get is light from?
The sun reflecting off of the waters on Earth and onto the moon.
How does a spaceship get back to earth from the moon?
they get in the rocket and flies in to the nearest waters
How does gravity from the moon affects the earth?
No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.
Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
How can the moon light affect the earth?
The moon affects the Tides.
Who has a greater affect on earth's tides sun or moon?
The Moon
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
What happens to ocean waters nearest the moon when earth rotates?
it moves der!!
How does the moon affect things on earth?
the moon effect's the earth in ways of it's gravitational pull
Does it rain on a full moon?
The phases of the moon do not affect rain on Earth.
Does the Moon's orbit around the earth affect the Moon's phase?
yea
