The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
No the Earth's gravitational attraction is caused by its mass. It varies slightly because the Earth is an oblate spheroid not a sphere, and as a result of variation in the density of crustal rocks. The tilt of Earth's axis has no affect on gravitational attraction.
The earth's gravitational pull decreases as altitude increases.
no
Earth has more mass.
they're so high because when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line, their gravitational pull creates a tidal bulge on earth. during neap tides, the sun, moon, and earth are at a 90 degree angle, making more even tidal bulges, making high and low tides closer together than the spring tides.
The moons gravitational pull on the Earth
The oceans
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
They are Both created by the moons gravitational pull on the earth
The moons mass is 1/6th the mass of the Earth.
Galileo
Because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
Uneven heating from the sun.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
The moon is under the influence of both the Earth's and the Sun's gravitational pull.
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.
