Thre Moon turns the tides on Earth, but what does the Earth do to other planets? anything? does it turn the seas of Saturn or similar somethings ?

In a word - yes

All the planets affect each other, although not always in major ways. The solar system can be considered as a two body system (the sun and Jupiter) with perturbations (all the other planets).

For an example of this, look at the precession of the perehelion of Mercury. General Relativity accounts for a tiny amount of that, but the rest is from the effects of the other bodies in the solar system.

The Earth's gravitational field extends infinitely through space so it does exert a gravitational force on every planet. Your example:if Saturn has seas, the Earth will cause a tidal effect there (just as Saturn causes a tidal effect on Earth). However, gravity is an extremely weak force to begin with. This may sound strange but you see it demonstrated every day. You can do many things against the entire gravitational field of the earth---throw a ball, walk up a flight of stairs, pump blood up to your head-----all with your comparatively puny muscles. Also gravitational force reduces as the square of the distance, so the Earth's gravitational effect on distant bodies is immeasurably small.

Fish could thrive in places like ny, Venice and the Maldives. yet life is already thriving. Polar bears thrive in the Arctic and emperor penguins thrive in Antarctica. Neither species flourishes in Hawaii. NW Jack 298K = 298 - 273 = 25 Celsius the definitely typical temperature of Earth in accordance to NASA figures is 15°C = 15 * 273 = 288 Kelvins and Proposed typical international temperature = 273 + 30 = 303 Kelvins enable's say that the climate sensitivity is 4 tiers C according to carbon dioxide doubling. Or to make the mathematics much less stressful, i'm going to conceed a somewhat smaller fee for climate sensitivity, such that a fifteen°C advance could require 4 doublings. If that have been the case, for Earth to acheive 30°C, it may elect 400ppm * 2^4 = 6400ppm * a hundred% / 10^6ppm = 0.sixty 4% definitely, I doubt that 0.sixty 4% carbon dioxide could heat Earth by utilising 15°C,simply by fact while all the ice melts, Earth's temperature will lose a considered necessary possitive comments.

Everything effects everything. The interaction between any two particular objects is just a product of their mass and distance apart. So, of course the Earth impacts the Moon. The other planets are too far away to impact the Earth in noticable ways.

All the planets effect each other in the solar system through gravity. One obvious influence on the moon is the fact that the Earths gravity holds it in an orbit around us.

I don't think the Earth's influence on the Solar Sytem goes any further than the Moon, which is trapped in orbit around us. I'm digressing but many people believe our Moon was once a chunk of the Earth which was knocked off by an asteroid impact

It turns the whole moon.

it's gravitational field affects their orbits
