The moon's gravitational pull is the source of a renewable energy source. The moon controls the tides, that is where we get tidal energy. We often convert this into electricity.

Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?

Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.


Why there is high tide during full moon?

Depending on where you live, you have high tides about every 12 hours, no matter what the phase of the Moon. However, at the full and new moons, you have higher-than-average "spring" tides, because the gravitational pull of the Moon lines up with the much lower gravitational pull of the Sun. At the quarter moons, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides because the tidal pull of the Moon and the tidal pull of the Sun are working at cross-purposes.


Does meteors is planets or moons?

Meteors are pieces of either moons or planets that broke off and are freely floating around in place t'ill they get attracted by a planets gravitational pull.


How do lo Europa Ganymede and Callisto stay in orbit around Jupiter?

The Galilean moons—Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—remain in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in stable orbits as they revolve around Jupiter. The balance between their orbital velocity and Jupiter's gravitational pull keeps them from escaping or falling into the planet.


What are any connections between the mass of a planet and the number of moons it has?

The mass of a planet can influence the number of moons it has through its gravitational pull, which can capture moons as they orbit. Larger planets with stronger gravitational fields are more likely to have more moons. Additionally, the size of the planet can also affect the amount of material available for moon formation, potentially leading to more moons.
