What else can I help you with?
Does the point on earth farthest from the moon has a high tide?
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
Why there is waves in see?
the gravitational force of the moon is pulling on all mass of the earth, so the water and cause the earth is orbitting it creates tide. high tide on the side closest to the moon. and low tide on the other side
Why does the tide come in out?
There is a high tide on the side of the Earth that is opposite to the Moon. This is because of the differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity felt at different places on Earth. The water on that far side is subject to a smaller gravitational pull than the center of the Earth and is so is "left behind", forming a tidal bulge. See the "related link" below.
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
Why does the moon control the tide of the sea?
The moon's gravitational pull affects the water on Earth, causing the tides to rise and fall. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force creates a tidal bulge on the side of the Earth closest to the moon and also on the opposite side. This results in the daily cycle of high and low tides.
How does the moon infleunce the earth?
The moon influences the Earth by pulling the Earth towards it. This effect produces about 1 m rise of the oceans on one side of the Earth (the side closest to the moon). This causes the tides and when in line with the Sun both gravity from the Sun and the moon effect the Earth adding up and causing a much larger pull which causes the high tides.
How does the moon effect high tide?
The earth spins on its axis. The ocean water maintains its equal level through the gravitational force and the centrifugal forces together. But the moon's gravitational force disrupts and accelerates the water pulling it towards the moon. These areas which are pulled, experience high tide while the rest of the area has a low tide.
What is the lunar perigee?
The side of the orbit of the moon that is closest to the Earth is the lunar perigee.
Why is there a high tide on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon On the side furthest from the moon?
All matter exerts a gravitational pull on matter around it. The moon has a large enough mass to not only set itself in orbit with the earth, but also pull the water of the earth closer to it. This causes the spring and neap tides at full and new moons.
How close does Earth's Moon get to the Sun?
The closest that the Moon gets to the Sun is 146,692,378 kilometers, which is not significantly closer than the Earth does. As the Moon orbits the earth in a regular orbit, it is the same average distance from the Sun as the Earth. At any given time the Moon is about 370 times farther from the Sun than it is from the Earth.The Moon is at the absolutely closest point when the Moon is at apogee, on the side of the Earth closest to the Sun, and the Earth is at perihelion with respect to the Sun. This absolute closest approach is incredibly rare, and the actual distance will vary each year.Overall, the Moon's "sun-side" perigee is somewhere around 405,000 km, and the perihelion of the Earth to the Sun is about 147 million km. So, the closest approach of the Moon to the Sun is about 146.5 million km, or about 0.98 AU.
Why is there high tides on the side of Earth farthest from the moon?
The moon pulls on the water AND the earth leaving the water on the far side behind.
