What else can I help you with?
How many spring tides do you have in a lunar cycle?
There are typically two spring tides in a lunar cycle. This occurs when the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon align, causing higher than normal high tides and lower than normal low tides.
How many times a day do ebb tides occur?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
How many times do ebb tides occur in a day?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
How long is the semidiurnal tide lunar cycle?
The semidiurnal tide lunar cycle is approximately 24 hours and 50 minutes. This cycle is influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon as it orbits the Earth. It results in two high tides and two low tides each day.
Why are solar tides weaker than the lunar tides much of the time?
Solar tides are usually hidden by lunar tides. The moon's gravity is greater than the sun's
Is there such thing as a lunar tide?
Advisedly, yes. There are such things as lunar tides. They progress on the Moon. So now you know, there are such things things as lunar tides.
What the two earth tides?
The two main types of Earth tides are lunar tides and solar tides. Lunar tides are caused primarily by the gravitational pull of the Moon, leading to two high tides and two low tides in most coastal areas each day. Solar tides, although weaker, result from the Sun's gravitational influence and also contribute to the tidal cycle, particularly during spring and neap tides. Together, these forces create the regular ebb and flow of ocean water.
When the tides are especially weak it is called a what tides?
When the tides are especially weak, it is called "neap tides." Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This phenomenon typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle.
What do lunar eclipse imply?
High tides
How do low tides occurs?
Lunar tides and solar tides partially cancel each other out. (During high tides, they work together)
Ancient people who knew the Saros cycle could do what?
Predict when an eclipse would happen, but not necessarily what type and where it would be visible. The Saros is a cycle of 18 years & 11 days; that is, the Metonic Cycle less twelve lunar months. It is composed of the Venus cycle, the anomalistic cycle [ the Moon's rotation around the Earth], the Draconic Cycle & the Soli-lunar cycle, The last two deal with eclipses. It is also handy for predicting tides.
What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
