How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
What role does the sun play in the earths existence?
it gives earth sunlight and life to its enviroment.
Why does the moon have a greater influence on earths tides than the sun does?
Fancy boy
Is it true that tides are created by the difference between the gravitational force at Earths surface and at Earths center?
Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
Does the suns gravity effect the oceans?
Yes! Just like the Moon, the Sun participates in the creation of tides. The Sun's role in tides is less than that of the Moon, though.
What affects the heights of tides?
The heights of tides are primarily influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. Other factors, such as the shape of coastlines, water depth, and the Earth's rotation, also play a role in determining the height of tides at specific locations.
Explain the role of the sun and the moon in causing tides on earth?
The sun and moon's gravitational pull on Earth's oceans causes tides. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger due to its proximity, creating two high tides and two low tides each day as the Earth rotates. The sun's gravitational pull also affects tides, with spring tides occurring when the sun, moon, and Earth align, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
What has the greatest effect on the Earth tides why?
The gravitational pull of the moon has the greatest effect on Earth tides. The moon's gravitational force causes bulges in the Earth's oceans, creating high and low tides as the Earth rotates. Other factors, such as the sun's gravity and the shape of the coastline, also play a role in affecting tides.
What other object in your solar system has effect on the tides?
Aside from the Moon, the Sun also has an effect on the tides due to its gravitational pull. However, the Moon plays a more significant role in causing tides on Earth compared to the Sun.
What role does gravity play in the tides cycle?
Gravity is what causes the tides in the first place. The tides are caused by the fact that the Moon attracts the Earth stronger on one side (the side that is closer to the Moon) than on the other side. To a lesser degree, the Sun's gravitation causes the same effect.
Which of the heavenly bodies causes the tides in the ocean?
The moon is the primary celestial body that causes the tides in the ocean due to its gravitational pull. The sun also plays a role in the tides, but to a lesser extent compared to the moon.
