It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.

Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Mass and gravity
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
Why are small moons like Deimos potato shaped while larger moons are spherical?
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
What is the cause of tides in sea?
the moons gravity
What is a cause of the tides in the seas?
the moons gravity.
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
How do rocks or comets are cause to crash into moons surface?
rocks and comets are attracted by moons gravity, so they crash
What Differences in the moons pull on different parts of earth cause what?
the tides and gravity
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
How do forces acting on rock cause tension?
gravity and moons forces pulls it up
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
Why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
Does the moons orbit cause ice storms?
Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.
