It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's 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 moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
What is facts about moons gravity?
1. it is 6 times less than gravity on earth 2. 3.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The force of gravity between Jupiter and its moons keeps them in orbit around the planet. Jupiter's gravity pulls the moons towards it, causing them to move in a continuous orbit around the planet.
