it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
The moon's gravity does not just affect water. The moon actually produces a tidal bulge in the ground of about a meter (three feet), but we don't notice it because that bulge is spread across thousands of miles and we move with the ground. Water experiences the same amount of force, but the effects on it more noticeable because it can flow freely.
A tidal bulge refers to the slight increase in sea level caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's water. This results in high and low tides as the water is pulled towards and away from the celestial bodies.
When passing through a tidal bulge, you would experience either a high tide or a low tide depending on which side of the bulge you are on. Tidal bulges are areas of elevated water levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun, leading to the cyclical rise and fall of tides.
The observer will experience a high tide as they pass through a tidal bulge. This occurs because tidal bulges are areas of elevated water levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.
Yes, Mercury does have a small tidal bulge, but it is significantly smaller than Earth's. This is due to the gravitational forces from the Sun and its slightly eccentric orbit around the Sun.
This bulge is caused by gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, creating tidal forces that deform the Earth's surface. It results in ocean tides rising and falling as water is drawn toward the bulging areas.
The bulge that occurs on Earth facing or opposite the Moon is called a tidal bulge. This is due to the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon causing a stretching effect on the water on Earth's surface, leading to the formation of high tides.
Not the phases of the moon, the moon itself has the most tidal control.
The tidal effects are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. The different positions of the sun and moon are the causes of high and low tides on Earth.
