Gravity: Gravity in Action

The video explores the relationship between the moon and Earth, focusing on the moon's size, the gravitational forces between the two celestial bodies, and how these forces influence ocean tides. It explains that the moon is smaller than Earth, resulting in a weaker gravitational pull. This gravitational force is crucial for the moon's orbit around Earth and is responsible for the tidal movements in Earth's oceans, as the moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it, causing high tides.

Explain how the moon's gravitational pull affects ocean water levels.

What causes high tides in the ocean?
