The moon is revolving around the earth! Then,the gravitational force exerted by earth on moon should be equal to the centripetal force(the force acting inwards when an object is moving in circular path).
Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996).Thurman, H.V. 1994). The effect of distance on tidal generating forces is seen in the relationship between the sun, the moon, and the Earthâs waters. Although the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Sun is more than 177 times that between the Earth and the Moon, the moon dominates the tides.
