Technically, every other massive body in the universe causes tidal effects; as a practical matter, only very close or very massive objects have any real effect. So we see tidal effects on the Earth caused by the Moon, which is close, and to a lesser extent by the Sun - which is far more massive, but also much farther away. No other body is either close enough or massive enough to have any influence on the tides at all.
What else can I help you with?
How does newton's law of universal gravity relate to ocean movements?
The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon, and to a lesser degree, the gravitational attraction of the sun, on the oceans.
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
What currents are a result of the movement from the sun and moon?
Ocean tides are the result of the gravitational attraction forcesbetween the sun, moon, and ocean water.
What causes the Arctic Ocean to have tides?
The tides in the Arctic Ocean are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. The water level rises and falls due to the gravitational attraction of these celestial bodies, creating high and low tides. Wind patterns and the shape of the coastline can also influence the tides in the Arctic Ocean.
Does gravity from the moon and earth form tides?
No, it is the gravitational attraction of the moon.
What are water tides caused from?
The tides are the result of the gravitational attraction between the water, the sun, and the moon.
Tides are caused bt the gravitational attraction of what two celestial bodies?
Moon and the sun.
Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and what other celestial body?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. The gravitational pull of these two celestial bodies on Earth's oceans creates the regular rise and fall of the water level along coastlines.
How does newton's law of universal gravity relate to ocean movements?
The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon, and to a lesser degree, the gravitational attraction of the sun, on the oceans.
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
Gravitational attraction between the sun the moon and the earth creates?
Tides among other things
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
How do the earth moon and sun effect each other?
By gravitational attraction : that includes who orbits who AND tides.
Does the moon control human behavior?
No. In fact, the moon controls tides. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the ocean to bulge out in the direction of the moon. ;)
What ocean movements are affected by the moon gravity?
Ocean tides are primarily affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. The gravitational attraction between the moon and Earth causes the water in the ocean to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides. As Earth rotates, areas not aligned with the moon experience low tides. This movement is known as tidal flow.
What causes the tides the rise and fall of sea water everyday?
The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans causes the tides to rise and fall. The gravitational force creates bulges of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, leading to high and low tides.
