The sun is approximately 372 times as far from the Earth as the moon is.


What are the different heavenly bodies involves in tides?

The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun creates tides on the earth. While tides are most commonly associated with oceans and large bodies of water, gravity creates tides in the atmosphere and even the lithosphere. The atmospheric tidal bulge extends far into space but the tidal bulge of the lithosphere is limited to approximately 12 inches twice a day.


Are the great lakes affected by the moon?

All bodies of water, and even land are affected by the Moon's force of gravity. You only notice it in water, because its tides move far more than the barely noticeable tides on land. Your answer is, "Yes".


Why is one tide significantly higher or lower than the other?

The moon is closer to one side of the ocean than the otheransw2. The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon, Sun, and Mars; in order of their influence.When the Sun and the Moon are on the same side of the earth (New Moon) the tides are maximum.When the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the earth, (full moon) the tides will be the smallest.As far as Mars is concerned, it is only every few years that Mars comes close enough in its orbit to affect the tides. but it does.
