When does the tide come in?
The tide comes in twice a day, or more accurately, twice every 23 hours and ten minutes. The changing of the tide time is due to the fact that while the Earth is rotating "beneath" the Moon, the Moon is orbiting the Earth.
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
Why does it seems like the moon go's around the earth once a day?
It seems as if the moon go's around the earth once a day because of the moon's rotation around the earth cause us (humans) to see the moon in it's different phases which also is every hoir
Why is it that some tides are higher?
The moon exerts a gravitational pull on earth. As a result, the ocean and Earth itself is pulled towards the moon. Confusingly, this means that the ocean bulges at the side closest to the moon as well as on the side furthest from the moon. As the Earth spins underneath the moon (one full spin for every 24 hours) so the swelled oceans move along the surface of Earth to stay positioned below the moon. As a result, the tides are high twice a day and low twice a day.
How are day and night different on earth and the moon?
they different because they change the hours of the day and they know when is night and day cause they change it .
Does the moon rises later each day due to its counterclockwise revolution around the earth?
Yes. The moon movies in the same direction that the Earth rotates (same cause - the collision that formed the moon caused the Earth's rotation) so the Earth must turn a bit more each day to align the moon with the observer's horizon.
What is the cause of year month and day?
Day - When the earth does a spin Month - When the moon orbits us Year - When we orbit the sun
Why don't we see the moon very well during the day?
The Earth's atmosphere and the light from the Sun can cause you to not see the moon during the daytime.
Does everyone on earth see the same phase of the moon on any giving day?
The moon orbits the earth in just a little under 28 days. The earth is blocking sunlight from reaching the moon at certain angles which cause the phases of the moon. Everyone sees the same phases because of this.
