What is the Hypothesis of the moon and tides?

The moon has just enough gravity to pull water to the sand of the beach. The moon has very little gravitational pull so it does not influence anything else on Earth. The tides are the only gravitational pull effect from the moon.


What effects tides?

The Moon's gravitational pull.


Do tides change according to the moon?

Yes the moon had a gravitational pull on the earth just like how the earth had the pull on the moon that keeps it in orbit


How does sun and moon affect tides?

The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides


Why do you experiences 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.


Why do the earth have tides?

Because of moon's gravitational pull


Why does the moon make tides?

The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes the ocean tides. The gravitational force creates a "stretching" effect on the Earth, with tides occurring as the Earth rotates within the "bulge" of water created by the moon's gravity.


How do the moon and tides relate?

The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans causes tides. When the moon is closest to Earth, during a full or new moon, tides are generally stronger (spring tides). When the moon is at a right angle to the sun, during the first and last quarter moon phases, tides are weaker (neap tides).


Why are tides affected?

Tides are primarily affected by the gravitational force of the moon and the sun acting on Earth's oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, it creates a gravitational pull that causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards it, creating high tides. When the moon is in a position where its gravitational force is perpendicular to that of the sun, it results in more extreme tides known as spring tides.


What are tides in the science form?

The moon's gravitational pull on the earth is what causes tides.
