How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
Why does the sun affect the tides less than the moon does?
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
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.
Does the sun affect the ocean tides?
Yes, the sun does affect the ocean tides through its gravitational pull, although to a lesser extent than the moon. When the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned during full moon and new moon phases, their combined gravitational forces lead to higher high tides, known as spring tides.
The sun does not normally affect the tides to a noticeable degree However under certain circumstances the gravitational pull of the sun does affect the tides Under what two 2 conditions?
* when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line * when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another with respect to the Earth (I'm on FLVS too and I just submitted this. xD.)
How does the position of the moon and the sun affect the tides?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
How the positions of the Earth moon and sun affect the tides?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
How does sun and moon affect tides?
The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
Who has a greater affect on earth's tides sun or moon?
The Moon
How does the position of the Sun and Moon affect Earth?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.

Does the sun and moon affect the tides of the sea?
Yes
Why does the sun affect the tides less than the moon does?
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
What forces affect tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and 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.
What causes tides and what affects their heights?
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
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).
