No. Eclipses are simply shadows; they don't really affect anything.
However, we do know that since eclipses only occur at full moons or new moons, an eclipse always coincides with a "spring tide".

∙ 11y agoThe Sun raises tides, just as the Moon does. The Sun is much more massive than the Moon, but it's also much further away. Between the two factors, the Sun's overall impact on the tides is about half that of the Moon. Also, the Sun's contribution comes in at about the same time of day for any given location (because the Sun's position is more or less the definition of "time of day").
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in more or less a straight line (New Moon or Full Moon), the tides from the Sun and Moon add up, so the tides show more difference between high and low tide than they do when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in an L arrangement (First and Last Quarter). The smaller tides at those times are called "neap tides", and the bigger ones at New and Full Moon are called "spring tides".

∙ 12y agoTo a very small degree yes, but the main cause for tides is the moon and the centrifgual force of the Earth. The moon pulls at the earths oceans just as the spin of the earth causes them to bulge a little, when the moon and sun are on the same side we have very high and low tides.

∙ 14y agoThe Moon's mass and distance are what affects the tides. The Moon's rotation doesn't figure in to the equation.

∙ 14y agoThe moon affects the tides more than the sun, without the Moon, we'd have no waves.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe Moon influences tides far more than the Sun does. The Sun is much larger - but much farther away.

∙ 12y agoWell the moon does most of the work, and the sun is so far away it has very little influence. Hope I helped:D

What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
How does the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun cause spring and neap tides?
When the Moon and the Sun are on the same side of the Earth, or on opposite sides of the Earth (i.e., full moon or new moon), their effects are in the same direction, and the tides are stronger (spring tides). When they are at right angles, their effects will partially cancel, and the tides are weaker (neap tides - not sure about the spelling).
Why spring tides do not cause solar eclipse?
Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and the moon when they are aligned. However, solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. This alignment for a solar eclipse does not coincide with the alignment necessary for spring tides.
Why do you have high and low tides at the beach?
Due to the gravitational pull on the earth from the moon and the sun. The moon pulls the water from the earth towards it and so does the sun. Low tides are called Neap tides and are low because the pull from the sun and the moon cancel each other out (it would be much easier to explain using a diagram) High tides are spring tides and are high because the sun and the moon are alligned, creating a strong force.
What are the basic cause of ocean tides?
Tides form due to variations of gravitatinal pull between earth ,moon and sun.
What are tide cause by?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the world.
What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
How sun drives ocean tides?
The sun doesn't "drive" tides. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the earth.
Differences in the moon's and sun's pull on different sides of earth cause what?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
How does sun and moon affect tides?
The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
Are Low tides caused by the sun and high tides by the moon?
no. all tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What kind of cloud can cause tide?
Clouds do not cause tides. Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon's gravity.
What cause Earth's tides?
Tides are causesd by the gravitasnal pull from the moon and the sun.
