The moon does have an effect on Earth's weather, but apparently no one knows for certain how. The moon causes atmosphere tides, just as the moon causes oceanic tides. It appears that you can expect colder temperatures when the moon is full or new due to this effect. When the moon is full or new, it causes a bulge in the atmosphere, just as it causes a bulge in the Earth's oceans. When the moon is full or new, the Earth, Moon and Sun all line up, and the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon act together on the Earth. This effect is especially pronounced when the moon is closest to Earth (at perigee). When the moon is at perigee and when the moon is either full or new, a particularly pronounced drop in temperature can be expected. Right now, the moon is full and at perigee; it is also January, the coldest month of the year. Here in Minnesota, the temperature last night was 28 below 0, Fahrenheit, which is unusually cold, even for Minnesota. While this effect may be noticeable, most meteorologists agree that other atmospheric factors play a greater role in Earth's weather patterns.

How does the moon effect the earths seasons?
It doesn't
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
How does the moon determine the weather?
With the exception of the ocean tides here on earth, which are caused by the pull of the Moon, the Moon has no effect on earths weather. And the Moon has no weather of it's own, of course.
Which has the greatest effect the sun or the moon?
It depends on what effect you mean. The sun affects the weather on Earth the most and the moon affects the tides on Earth the most.
Does moon have weather?
No the moon has no weather.
What the moon and weather affect the moon?
The Moon doesn't significantly affect weather on Earth, and weather on Earth doesn't affect the Moon at all.
