What causes ocean tides to reach higher up on a shore at certain times of day than at others?
The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter earth's?
The moon's gravitational force does influence Earth's tides and rotation, but it is not expected to drastically alter Earth in the future. The moon's orbit is stable and changes occur slowly over millions of years rather than in a drastic manner.

Is the moon weightless?
The moon is weightless, because the centrifical force of its rotation is counter acting on gravity. If both forces are exactly the same, they cancel out each other. The moon would have weight if it was close enough to fall, but otherwise no.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
What Phases of the moon are produced by?
The rotation of the earth.
What way does the moon spin clockwise or anticlockwise?
Neither , it's rotation is static .
What are Tides on Earth are causes by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
Why is there gravity on the moon when the orbit is static?
There is gravity surrounding every speck of mass in the universe. You don't evenneed to be near it. The forces of attraction can be calculated between the lint inyour pocket and a grain of sand on a beach on a planet bound to a star on the farside of a galaxy that's 10 billion light years away. The moon "has gravity" becauseit has mass.I'm not aware of what's meant by a "static orbit", but I do know that it has no effecton the presence or magnitude of the gravitational forces.
Does the moon revolve because of gravitational forces?
Yes, the moon revolves about (orbits) the earth because of gravitational forces. However it also rotates (turns/spins) about its axis of rotation - this movement involves gravitational forces as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gravity is involved in both the revolution and the rotation of the moon. For more on the rotation (spin) of the moon, see the link below.

What are ocean currents made by?
Earth's Rotation (Coreolis Effect (spelling?)), Heat from the sun, gravity from the sun and moon.
Is the force of the suns gravity on the moon the same as the suns gravity on earth?
Not particularly. The Earth's rotation around the Solar System is controlled by the Sun but the Moon is mostly controlled by the Earth, so the Sun really has more of an influence on the Earth than the Moon.
How long will it take the moon to leave the earths gravity?
It takes the moon 27.322 days to orbit the Earth. While the moon rotates, the moon also rotates. Due to this rotation, we always see the same side of the moon.
What does the moon's gravity cause?
The moon's gravity causes ocean tides on Earth due to its gravitational pull on the water. It also contributes to the slight variations in Earth's rotation known as tidal acceleration and tidal locking.
How does the moon rotate with the earth?
The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits around the Earth, known as synchronous rotation. This means we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused this synchronization over time.
