Explain your results: How can Earth’s gravity affect the water when the water isn’t actually touching the Earth? (2 pts) Do you think the Moon’s gravity is affecting the water in the beaker? Why or why not? (2 pts) If you were on the Moon, do you think you would feel the pull of Earth’s gravity? Explain! (2 pts)

Because the Earth has so much gravity, it can hold water, land, and life in it's atmosphere.

(Not sure what beaker you are talking about, so sorry) But I don't think the moon's gravity would have an effect on a beaker of water because the Earth's gravity is much more than the moon's.

I think you would be able to feel a little bit of Earth's gravity  on the moon because the Earth's gravity pulled the moon into orbit, therefore, gravity on Earth my have some effect on the moon.

hope this helps!
