They maintain gravity as light waves maintain light. They travel at the same speed

(300,000,000 meters per second) as light. The difference is that the quantum of

gravity, called the graviton, while it exists in theory, has never yet been detected.

How are waves created by the moon?

The moon has a gravity like the earth and therefore as it changes from a full moon to crecent so dose the gravitational pull. It is this gravitational pull on the sea that causes waves and high and low tide. The wind can also have an effect on how strong or high the waves will be


What is caused by the rotation and movement of energy of the sun and reach far out into space?

As far as I know, the only type of energy caused by the movement of masses - more accurately, the acceleration of masses - is gravitational waves. However, the roation of an object with spherical symmetry won't emit gravitational waves.


Do gravitational waves exist?

Most physicists are convinced they do exist. The Laser Interferometer Gravity Wave Observatories (LIGO) were built to detect gravity waves from colliding neutron stars, supernova, and other space-time fabric disturbing events.


How can the speed of gravity is equal to speed of light?

Gravity is a state of space-time, however gravitational waves, predicted by Enstein general relativity yet not directly proven, travels with the speed of light, the highest possible speed, because simply gravitational waves take the form of energy radiation. when a body , with huge mass, moves with acceleration it emits gravitational waves. the only available proof of its existence is the binary star system when one of the star is a pulsar ,white dwarf or a netron star, since these stars has a very high mass , they rotate with the other star with an orbital motion, accelerated motion, and the =effect of the gravitational waves is conceivable since there is another near star to it. the garvitational waves/ radiation can be detected; since it results in a loss of energy the distance between the two stars decreases.


How does the Moon create waves on Earth?

No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.

How is the energy carried by gravitational waves related to the phenomenon of gravitational waves themselves?

The energy carried by gravitational waves is directly related to the phenomenon of gravitational waves themselves. Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime that carry energy away from accelerating masses, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. The energy carried by gravitational waves is proportional to the amplitude and frequency of the waves, and can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth.


Can gravitational waves be bended by gravitational fields?

yes

What two waves do not require a medium?

The two waves which do not require a medium are electromagnetic waves, also known as light and gravitational waves. Gravity waves have not been detected yet but are predicted by general relativity so are expected to exist.


How do gravitational waves form?

Gravitational waves are created when massive objects accelerate, such as when two black holes merge or when a massive star explodes in a supernova. As these objects move, they cause ripples in the fabric of spacetime, which propagate outward as gravitational waves at the speed of light. Detection of gravitational waves provides valuable insights into the behavior and interactions of massive objects in the universe.


What wave is partly longitudinal and partly transverse?

Earthquake waves , electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves..


How fast do gravitational waves travel through space?

Gravitational waves travel through space at the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second.


How are gravitational waves caused and how do they relate to what you have learned about the behavior of waves?

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. Like other types of waves, gravitational waves carry energy and information through spacetime, but they propagate at the speed of light and can only be detected using sensitive instruments like interferometers. Studying gravitational waves has provided insights into the behavior of waves in general, highlighting the universal properties that govern the transmission of energy and information through various mediums.

What are the diffirent types of wave?

Some examples include waves on a water surface; sound waves; electromagnetic waves (this includes light); and gravitational waves.


Waves that do not not need a medium?

Two waves that do not require a medium to travel would be light waves and gravitational waves. - Zach Harris, B.S. Physics
