The moon's gravitational pull creates tides in Earth's oceans. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it causes high tides. When it is at a right angle to the Earth and the sun, it causes lower tides. This gravitational interaction results in the regular rise and fall of ocean waters.
The moon gravitational pull causes our high and low tides. Sailors and fisherman noticed centuries ago that the tides follow the moon.

What does the moon affect the earths tides?
It helped me a lot
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
How does the moon affect your bodies?
The moon attracts water, and 80% of our bodies are water, therefore we are unknowingly pulled to the moon, but only during full moons.
What has the greatest effect on earths tides?
The moon.
What does the moon affect the earths tides?

How will absence of moon affect us?
Hi.If the moon was absent we would be literally screwed. Since the moon controls the Earths tides, no moon equals the whole world flooded one big ball of water.
How does the moon position affect the tides of earths ocean?
Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
Is there water on earths moon?
Yes, but only in solid form.
What are three answers for how the moon affects earths water?
tide is one
How the Moon's position affects the tides of the earths ocean?
Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
How does gravity affect oceans?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
Does the earths moon have water?
Yes I think it does but it was frozen over years ago so there COULD of been life on the moon
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
Does the suns gravity affect the earths tides?
Yes, but to a much lesser extent than that of the Moon (the Moon is less massive but much closer than the Sun).
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
