Does the Moons gravitational pull affect anything else on the Earth as well as the oceans/tides…?
Gravity is the force of attraction between every pair of masses in the universe. The moon’s gravity affects everything, albeit at an almost imperceptible level. The tides are caused because the moon’s gravity is different on different parts of the planet, because of the variable distance to the moon. The tides affect the land as well as the sea. The tides are NOT due to the oceans being water. They are due to the change in gravitational force from one part of the ocean to another. There is NO measurable tidal effect on your body whatsoever, because your body is all the same distance from the moon. All the Moon’s gravity does is pull things towards it with an exceedingly teeny unnoticeable force. The Moon’s gravity does NOT control menstrual cycles,bodily fluids, lottery results, or puppies. BULLSHIT.
