Does the moon control the tides and anything else theoreticly?
The sun and the moon control tides. I have mentioned in another post how the gravitational force of bodies is proportional to the product of the masses involved divided by the square of the distance between them. Keeping the distance the same (and the gravitational constant is constant) the important thing becomes the product of the masses. The moon and the Earth’s oceanic mass multiplied together give a fairly huge number compared to the product of the moon’s mass and the mass of a person. SO the gravitational influence is far more in a tidal scenario that the influence on anything else. The moon does exert a gravitational influence on you but it is so insignificant. Smaller masses at closer proximity will have similar effects.
