Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
How does moon impact tidal behavior of oceans on earth?
The moon and the earth both have magnetic fields and these are what makes the two attract. When the moon a full moon, more of the moon is seen and therefore more of the force is affected the tides. So, the fuller the moon, the higher the tides. I also believe that the sodium chloride present in the sea waters has some affect on the tides.
What tides are on the moon?
The correct term is tides 'from' the moon. All major objects in space have a gravitational pull. The moon, being close to the Earth, has a major gravitational pull on the Earth's water. This is called a tide. The tides can go up and down depending on how far or close the moon is and the rotation of the Earth. Also, the tides are usually scheduled on a time basis.
Does the moon affect the sea's tide?
Yes, the moon has a lot of affect on the sea'a tides. This is due to the gravitational pull. The moon has a lot more affect on the tides than the sun does. This is due to the moon being much closer to the earth than the sun.
The effect of the moon on earths ocean?
The main effect is the tides. There are two high tides in slightly more than a day and two low tides in slightly more than a day . The mean time between high and low tides is 6 hours 22 min and few seconds. This odd amount of time is caused by the Moon's orbiting the Earth. Compound this with the Sun's effect on the tides. When the Sun , Moon and Earth are in line we have Spring Tides and when the Sun Moon and Earth are at first/last quarter we have Neap Tides. This is because of gravitational pull is in different directions. Also the High tides is on the side of the Earth where the moon is. However, there is a corresponding high tide on the opposite side of the Earth; it like the balancing effect of a wheel. THere is also a 'drag' effect on tidal height. The highest/lowest Spring tides come may a day ot two after the New/Full Moon. Similarly for Neap Tides. Also in March and September at the equinoxes Sring tides are higher and lower that at the Soltices. Again it due to the Moon;s position at these points in the year.
What would happen to the Earth's tides if the moon was twice the size as it is now?
What matters heres is the Moon's mass, as well as its distance. With a more massive Moon (and in the same orbit), the tides would of course be stronger.
Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
What will hapen if there is no moon?
We would have barely any light in the night and there would be no more tides in the ocean
What would happen if earth's orbit and the moon's orbit were in the same plane?
That would mean that the Moon would always follow the ecliptic, and it would mean that we would have a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse every lunar month. The solar eclipse would only be seen in and near the tropics at every New Moon, with maximum totality always on the Equator, and the lunar eclipse would happen at every Full Moon. Other than that the tides would be more or less the same, except that the variation in the height of spring tides could be less.

How does the sun affect earths tides?
The Moon affects the tides of this planet, much more than the Sun. It is the gravitational pull of those masses in space which pull the water of the oceans from the Earth and the Earth from the water. (There IS a tidal bulge on the same side as the Moon AND on the opposite side! And smaller ones towards and away from the Sun).
What are spring tides?
Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth all lie in a line, more or less... in other words, at New Moon and Full Moon. This is because at these times the tidal forces on Earth from the Sun and Moon reinforce each other.
Why are there no tides at the equator?
Average temperature: 60 degrees F
What moon phase are the highest high tides and the lowest low tides?
The new Moon phase and the Full Moon phase are associated with the highest tides on Earth. These tides are called "spring tides". During these phases Sun, Earth and Moon are more or less in a straight line. --------------------------------------------------- Full moon at 14th --------------------------------------------------- The phase of the moon does not change its effect on the tide. The tide follows the moon by a small fraction of an amount as the moons pull moves the tide forward. The phase of the moon is a relation of the sun to the moon as viewed from the earth. While it could be argued that there is more gravitational pull during a new moon because it is more in alignment with the sun or our star at that time. Our moons orbital path is also tilted at 5.1 degrees in its orbital path, This takes a little over 18.5 years to proceed so every 9.5 years the moon is lined up more directly with our star. I would say it is at this time that there would be the highest tide. The difference would be be very small!
How does the Moon affect the changing of tides on Earth on a daily basis?
The Moon doesn't just "affect" the tides; it causes them in the first place! The reason there are tides is because of the difference in gravity - the parts of the Earth that are closer to the Moon are attracted more strongly than the parts that are farther away.
What on earth will happen if the moon dissappeard?
1: The seasons would change summers would be longer and winter will be colder as the moon influences the tides/oceans 2: climate change drastically proberly global cooling more then likely 3: Could alter the earths rotation around the sun plus if the moon was destroyed it could send bits of the moon falling to earth like asteroids
If moon would not be there what would earth be like now?
One change to earth would be that there would be no major source of light at night. There would also never be any solor, or lunar eclipses. More noticeable yet, tides along coastal areas would be much smaller. There would still be solar tides, but these are a fraction of the height of lunar tides.
