Yes, you're absolutely correct: Earth's gravity is much stronger than the moon's. That's why the water moves but stays here. 馃槉

It's weaker but that does not mean it's nonexistent or doesn't have influence.

Yes, otherwise the earth's water would stick to the moon. A weaker force can still move it around though.
[c=359E00]okay thank you guys, i need this to answer a question from someone on youtube lol[/c]

Yes..Earths Gravity is Far Stronger then the Moons
Besides gravity felt by the moon
So Too we feel the Gravity of our sun
Yet
The Moon is More responsible for our tides
Dispite others claiming the sun has more influence upon our waters
By the way
The moon is Moving away from us
Ever so slightly every year
Way back in the day ( billions of years ago )
The moon was 24,000 miles from earth
Currently on average is nearly 240,000 miles aways
In future it will continue m9ving further away
Atvsome point even breaking free
Yet
The Moon played very importantvroles
Both making our days longer
Also stablizing our days
Stablizing our seasons
All of which..eventually enabled the Advanced lifecwe now enjoy..on the 3rd rock from the sun..we usually call Earth

The gravity of the moon causes the high and low tide I could see it.
It is a large body but most importantly it is very close!

gravity is a two way street

All gravity affects all matter in the world. An atom in your body affects all the atoms in the sun, just very little. The moon is kinda large and quite close to the earth, hence it affects the gravitation on all of us more significantly.

Gravity is an attractive force, so two massive objects orbiting one another will bend and warp each other. This distortion is more pronounced in liquids and is also transferred from the distortion of the earth's crust which produces tides.
The earth being more massive does have more gravity but that doesn't discount the moon's gravity. The moon still has a large amount of it's own.
In turn the gravity of the earth also distorts the shape of the moon as well. But since it doesn't have liquid on it's surface there are no tides to speak of. But there are moonquakes.
