Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
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.
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.
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 ios the primary cause of earths ocean tides?
They are mainly caused by the gravitation of the Moon. More specifically, the Moon attracts the part of Earth that's closer to the Moon stronger than the part that is away from the Moon. To a lesser degree, tides are also caused by the Sun - for the same reason.

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.

Does the moons orbit cause ice storms?
Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.
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 effect does global warming have on the tides?
Global warming will not affect the tides, which are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. There will be more water in the oceans, of course, so a high tide will be higher than before.
What are the factors that affect the height of a tide?
What are the most important factors influencing the heights and times of tides?
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 light involved with the earth's tides?
No, not directly. But in an indirect way the phase of the Moon will be affecting the tides and different phases of the Moon means it give of more or less light depending on the phase.
What is the difference between spring tide and neap tide?
Spring tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides are formed by the destructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align to make a right angle. Spring tides are therefore larger than neap tides, new moons and full moons occur in the spring tide but the 1st qauter of the moon and 3rd quarter of the moon occur in neap tides... tupac
Does the pull of the sun cause tides?
No. Eclipses are simply shadows; they don't really affect anything. However, we do know that since eclipses only occur at full moons or new moons, an eclipse always coincides with a "spring tide".
