When the gravitational pulls down the sun and moon partially cancel each other out earth experiences a tide?

Yes, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon on Earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, the gravitational forces add together to create higher high tides (spring tides), and when they are at right angles, the forces partially cancel out to create lower high tides (neap tides).


Does the Sun's gravity affect the earth's tides?

Yes, the Sun's gravitational pull also contributes to the Earth's tides. Although it is weaker than the Moon's pull, it still has an influence on the tides. When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned during a full or new Moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher high tides (spring tides), and when they are at right angles during the first or third quarter Moon, they create lower high tides (neap tides).


Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?

The moon has a greater effect on tides than the sun. This is because the moon is closer to Earth and its gravitational pull is stronger, causing bulges in the ocean that create high and low tides. The sun's gravitational pull also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent.


How does the moon create waves?

The moon's gravitational pull creates ocean tides, which in turn generate waves. When the Earth rotates, the tides move around the planet, causing water to rise and fall in a cyclical pattern that leads to the formation of waves.


How does Moon's gravity causes Tide?

The moon does not Cause tides. How can the moon cause tides when it does not have gravity strong enough to create it's own atmosphere.In this case how can its gravitational pull cause tides on earth,which at distance from the moon

Does the pull of the moon create tides?

Yes,the gravitational pull of the moon actually does create tides at night time, when it is close to Earth


How does the Moon create waves on Earth?

No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.


How the moon create high and low tides?

With its gravity

What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?

The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.

A tide that result when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides is called a?

When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.

The tides on Earth are an example of?

The tides on Earth are an example of the gravitational relationship between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun creates bulges in the Earth's oceans, causing the water to rise and fall in a regular pattern known as tides.


Is an example of the moon's gravitational force on Earth?

Low and high tides.


Do changing tides affect the phases of the moon?

No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
