The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
What else can I help you with?
How does the position of the moon and the sun affect the tides?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
How does the position of the Sun and Moon affect Earth?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
Does the sun and moon affect the tides of the sea?
Yes
Why does the sun affect the tides less than the moon does?
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
What forces affect tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
What causes tides and what affects their heights?
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
Does the sun affect the ocean tides?
Yes, the sun does affect the ocean tides through its gravitational pull, although to a lesser extent than the moon. When the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned during full moon and new moon phases, their combined gravitational forces lead to higher high tides, known as spring tides.
Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?
The moon has a greater effect on tides than the sun. This is because the moon is closer to Earth and its gravitational pull is stronger, causing bulges in the ocean that create high and low tides. The sun's gravitational pull also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent.
Do changing tides affect the phases of the moon?
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
Does the moon affect the sea's tide?
Yes, the moon has a lot of affect on the sea'a tides. This is due to the gravitational pull. The moon has a lot more affect on the tides than the sun does. This is due to the moon being much closer to the earth than the sun.
The sun does not normally affect the tides to a noticeable degree However under certain circumstances the gravitational pull of the sun does affect the tides Under what two 2 conditions?
* when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line * when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another with respect to the Earth (I'm on FLVS too and I just submitted this. xD.)
