is high waters affected by moon?

Yes, this is called the tide.  The moon exerpts a gravatitional force on the Earth that causes the water to rise and fall.\n\nRead more at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

I believe that in most places, the difference in daily tide levels is greater than the difference between spring and neap tides.  Since the Sun's position relative to the earth changes in a daily cycle, and the Moon's position changes in a monthly cycle, that suggests to me that the Sun has a greater effect on tides.

Yes.  Although it is not called Lake effect. \nIt is called Ocean effect.  This happens on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.

Having their own moon might affect it...

Well I do know that statistically speaking, there are more births during the full moon than at any other time of the month.  Additionally, a friend of mine assures me that the people at her work always act a bit strange on the full moon.  However, I doubt it has anything specifically to do with water.  Everything on Earth experiences the gravity shift - it's just that water in the ocean is more free to react, being a liquid.  My guess is that it's a subconscious reaction to the change in gravity - our bodies do a lot of things without our knowledge.

It's not exact, or we wouldn't see phases of the moon. See, the moon is a significant influence on times of ebb and flood tides, and if it was perfectly synchronized with our rotation, then it would be the same phase every day.\n\nFurthermore, it changes every day at each location. For the most part, you can count on a 5 or 6 hour flood stage from low to high tide, followed by a 5 or 6 hour ebb stage back to low tide.\n\nOther forces effect tides (such as the sun's gravity), but as far as time of day for high and low tides, nothing compares to the moon's gravitational tug.

First, there have been proof of river beds and the like being found when space probes landed there.  Second, there are ice caps seen at the poles, and that's a sign of water as well.  But as for standing water, water that EXISTS right now, there is no sign or proof.  So it may have been there in the past, but not right now...

the water, earth and moon are always moving......why is some water clear and some murky?  there are so many factors, bacteria in water don't live in warm water, so in tropical places the water is clear, on the other hand, places like east or west coast usa are colder so the water has a higher degree of pollution or looks more "murky"

Flowing water does.  I don't know about standing water.

As far as I am aware, there are none in the terrestrial sense, after the huge meteor impact that formed the Caloris Basin there were massive extrusions of flood lavas that formed the Smooth Plains...but these were 'seeps'.  The core of Mercury is thought to have only a small amount of magma which gives the planet it's magnetic field...but it is doubted that without the outside intervention of the major meteor strike that there would have been any lava flow at all.\n\nIt is also thought that seismic vibrations from the Caloris impact are what caused the hilly and furrowed terrain on the opposite side of the planet.\n\nIt is remarkably similar to our own moon in many respects, airless, crater impacted and causing tides on the sun, just as the moon causes tides in our oceans.

There are always two high and two low tides in a 24-hour period, but depending on the particular area you are looking at, you may not get much difference in the two tides when the sun and the moon are on the same side of the Earth.\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/ocean/Tides.shtml

As others mentioned, the moon has no atmosphere of its own for weather patterns to develop. \n\nThe only wind the moon (or Earth) experiences is the Solar wind.  The solar wind consists of highly energy ions in the form of a plasma.  While the solar wind can effect radio signals and such, it isn't going to do anything to Neil Armstrong's footprints.\n\nThe only thing that truly disturbs the moon surface is impacts by meteorites.  This is evident by the many craters we can see.

its called high tide and low tide it has to do with the gravitational pull on large bodies of water.

The tides depend on not only the forcing of the sun, moon and other celestial bodies, but they depend on the shape of the bottom topography, shape of the coastline, etc. \n\nThat is why in some places there are two high tides a day (so-called semidiurnal tides, like in most of the world), some places there is only one high tide a day (so-called diurnal tides, like in California), and even some places with no tides at all, or 3 or more high tides per day. \n\nThere are also tides in rivers and lakes, but of course you can only see them if these bodies of water are big enough. There is also a good sized tide in the solid earth, and in the atmosphere too, as you might expect.

Undoubtedly our moon has been impacted by asteroids and other objects that otherwise would have struck Earth. If the moon wasn't there, then it follows that we might be struck more frequently.

The maximum water level is called "high tide" or "high water" and the minimum level is "low tide" or "low water". High water occurs as two bulges in the height of the oceans; one bulge faces the moon and the other, on the opposite side of the earth, faces away from the moon. For an explanation see below under Tidal physics. There are two low waters positioned at about 90° of longitude from the high waters. At any given point on the ocean, there are normally two high tides and two low tides each day. The common names of the two high tides are the "high high" tide and the "low high" tide; the two low tides are called the "high low" tide and the "low low" tide. On average, high tides occur 12 hours 24 minutes apart. The 12 hours is due to the Earth's rotation, and the 24 minutes to the Moon's orbit. The 12 hours is half of a solar day and the 24 minutes is half of a lunar extension, which is 1/ (29-day lunar cycle). The lunar cycle is what is tracked by tide clocks.\n\nThe time between high tide and low tide, when the water level is falling, is called the "ebb". The time between low tide and high tide, when the tide is rising, is called "flow" or "flood". At the times of high tide and low tide, the tide is said to be "turning".\n\n \nThe height of the high and low tides (relative to mean sea level) also varies. Around new and full Moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line, the tidal forces due to the Sun reinforce those of the Moon, due to the syzygy found at those times.\n\nThe tides' range is then at its maximum: this is called the "spring tide", or just "springs" and is derived not from the season of spring but rather from the German verb springen, meaning "to leap up". When the Moon is at first quarter or third quarter, the sun and moon are at 90° to each other and the forces due to the Sun partially cancel out those of the Moon. At these points in the Lunar cycle, the tide's range is at its minimum: this is called the "neap tide", or "neaps".\n\nSpring tides result in high waters that are higher than average, low waters that are lower than average, slack water time that is shorter than average and stronger tidal currents than average. Neaps result in less extreme tidal conditions. Normally there is a seven day interval between springs and neaps.\n\nThe relative distance of the Moon from the Earth also affects tide heights: When the Moon is at perigee the range increases, and when it is at apogee the range is reduced. Every 7½ lunations, perigee and (alternately) either a new or full Moon coincide; at these times the range of tide heights is greatest of all, and if a storm happens to be moving onshore at this time, the consequences (in the form of property damage, etc.) can be especially severe (surfers are aware of this, and will often intentionally go out to sea during these times, as the waves are more spectacular than ever). The effect is enhanced even further if the line-up of the Sun, Earth and Moon is so exact that a solar or lunar eclipse occurs concomitant with perigee.
