Just as the moon orbits the earth because of the earth's gravitational pull, the moon has its own gravitational pull. While it isn't enough to greatly affect the Earth's movement, it does affect the earth's oceans.

What factors can make tides vary?

the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly

No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.


When do regular low and high tides occur?

low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line


How do the moon and tides relate?

The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans causes tides. When the moon is closest to Earth, during a full or new moon, tides are generally stronger (spring tides). When the moon is at a right angle to the sun, during the first and last quarter moon phases, tides are weaker (neap tides).

What would the Earth's climate be without a moon?

The moon causes tides, but tides are not part of the climate. The moon is not particularly involved in the Earth's climate. Moonlight does not have enough energy content to make the Earth warmer.


What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?

The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.
