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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
What keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
Is there grivity on Jupiter?
There is gravity. There is gravity on all planets, moons, and stars.
What does the galilean moons have to do with gravity?
Gravity keeps them in orbit around Jupiter.
