The Moon affects tides on Earth through gravity. The Sun also affects Earth's tides, but not as much due to its greater distance from the Earth. It's not the simple force of attraction that makes the tides, but the difference in the attractive force on the opposite sides of the Earth.he gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Ocean levels fluctuate daily as the sun, moon and earth interact.
How the Moon Affects the Earth. The moon and Earth have a very strong magnetic pull on each other. As water is not stationary and able to move about freely, the Earth does not have full control over it. This enables the magnetic pull of the moon to influence large bodies of water on Earth.
