1. Tidal effect: the moon's gravitational force affects the oceans tides.
2. The earth wobbles slightly on its axis due to the force of the moon on the earth.
3. The earth is very slightly lopsided.
4. Electromagnetic forces between the earth and moon interact with each other, although the moon's magnetic field is very weak in comparison to that of the earth.
the sun creates night and day on earth and the suns light bounces off the moon to make it visible
The gravitational forces between the Earth and its moon
keep the moon in orbit around the Earth.
The moon affects tides. When th moon is above the coast, it will be high tide, and vise versa.

How does the tilt of earths axis effect how the suns rays strike earth?
I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
The moon is a natural what of the earth?
the moon is a natural satellite of the earth
Which natural satellite of the Earth illuminated by the sun?
The moon is the only natural satellite the Earth has. The Moon has a formal name and is known as La Luna. A natural satellite is something orbiting another body, that is not man-made. There are many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth, but the moon is the only natural satellite. The Moon itself has no known natural satellites. Many of the other planets of our solar system have more than one moon and so have many natural satellites.The Moon, orbits at an average distance of 234,000 miles (376,000 km). The Moon has a diameter of about 2100 miles (3400 km), about one-fourth that of Earth. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system.
If there was no Sun could the Moon crash into Earth?
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
What are the effects of suns paths on earth?
the moon
Were does the moon and earth get its light from?
The moon and earth get there light from the sun when the sun shines onto the moon the moon reflects the suns light onto the earth.
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 does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
Why when your above the earth the moon never changes and when your on earth they change phases?
because of the suns reflections
How is the moon like earth in regard to the suns rays?
ioiy gyggj yugt
What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
How is gravity generated on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is generated by the mass of the moon itself. The moon's gravitational force is weaker than Earth's due to its smaller size and lower mass. This is why objects weigh less on the moon compared to Earth.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
The Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun, so its gravitational pull on Earth's ocean water is much stronger. Also, the Moon's gravitational force varies more across Earth due to its closer proximity, creating larger tidal bulges. Additionally, the Moon's gravitational force is in direct alignment with Earth's axis, contributing to the stronger tidal effects compared to the Sun.
Why causes the earth moon system to revolve around the earth?
The suns gravity. think u people! -_- people.
What is the same about the moon and sun?
you can see both from earth, only the sun is a light source. the moon reflects the suns light
