Does earth orbit causes change in the tides?
No. The biggest influence on the tides is the moons gravitational pull.
How does position of the moon cause high and low tides on earth?
gravitational pull
What causes the moon to have lessof an impact on tides at neap tides?
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
What affects the heights of tides?
The gravitational pull of the sun, Earth, and moon.
How do tides change monthly on earth?
The gravity of the moon and sun combine to pull Earth's waters in the same direction.
Can you relate the phases of the moon to the occurrence of high and low tides?
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
What is the effect of the alignment of the sun moon and earth in relation to the occurrence of tides?
When all three bodies are aligned spring tides are the result
How does the earth's position affect tides?
It's actually the moon which affects the tides, due to its gravitational pull.
Does the earth's rotation speed up during tides?
no it just has to do with the position of the earth and moon
How often do tides shift?
Tides are the result of the moon's gravitational pull on the oceans. The shifting of the tide is in relation to the moon's rotation around the earth
What does of like or about the moon?
The moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet. It has phases due to its position in relation to the sun and Earth, and has a significant impact on Earth's tides. It is also the only celestial body beyond Earth that humans have physically visited.
Why are scientists able to predict tides in advance?
Tides are caused by the moon, so scientists can predict tides in advance from the moon's position relative to earth
Does earth orbit causes change in the tides?
No. The biggest influence on the tides is the moons gravitational pull.
How does position of the moon cause high and low tides on earth?
gravitational pull
What causes the moon to have lessof an impact on tides at neap tides?
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
How does the moon create waves?
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
What affects the heights of tides?
The gravitational pull of the sun, Earth, and moon.
