Well, the gravitational pull is an effect so if a body of water on Earth is closer to the moon, the tidal waves are higher than on the opposite side of the world.

Hope that helps!

What Planet experiences tidal effects created by the sun?

All planets in our solar system experience tidal effects from the sun, but the most significant tidal effects are seen on Earth, where they influence ocean tides. The moon also plays a significant role in creating tides on Earth.


When was Tidal Moon created?

Tidal Moon was created in 1938-12.


Would the daily tides at points X and Y higher during a perigee moon or and apogee moon explain?

Daily tides at points X and Y would be higher during a perigee moon compared to an apogee moon. This is because a perigee moon occurs when the moon is closest to Earth, resulting in stronger gravitational pull and higher tidal forces. Conversely, during an apogee moon, the moon is farther away, leading to weaker tidal effects and lower tide levels. Thus, the proximity of the moon significantly influences tidal heights.


What is the result of gravity between the Moon and the Earth?

The gravitational interaction of the Earth and Moon produces a number of effects. The most obvious of these is the orbital motion of the Moon around the Earth, but there is also a motion of the Earth around the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system, tidal effects on the Earth and Moon and professional effects on the Earth's axis of rotation.


Why does the Moon generate larger tidal forces than the Sun?

Even though the Sun is much more massive than the Moon, the Moon is much closer. The force of gravity between two objects is not only determined by the masses of those objects but the distance between them. Because the Moon is so much closer, the effects of its gravity on tidal forces is greater.

Are tides influenced by the moon or gravitation?

It's infulenced by Tidal Forces. The Moon mainly effects tides because they have strong tidal forces due to the fact that it is the closest moon or planet (as far as we know) to the Earth.


Which celestial body has a greater effect on tidal forces on earth?

The moon has a greater effect on tidal forces on Earth compared to the sun. This is because the moon is closer to Earth and exerts a stronger gravitational pull, causing the tides to be primarily influenced by the moon's position.

What does tidal energy result from?

Tidal energy results from the gravitational pull on water by the Moon, and to a lesser degree, the sun. These gravitational effects combine with centrifugal forces that result from the Earth and the Moon orbiting each other.

What does tidal bulge means?

it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.


Bulge of the ocean is pulled toward the moon by what?

The tidal effects are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. The different positions of the sun and moon are the causes of high and low tides on Earth.


What planets has tidal affects?

Tidal effects are primarily seen on Earth, where the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun create tidal forces. Other planets with notable tidal effects include Jupiter and its moons, particularly Europa and Io, where gravitational interactions lead to significant geological activity. Saturn's moons, such as Enceladus and Titan, also experience tidal heating due to their interactions with the planet and each other. Overall, tidal effects are most pronounced in systems with large celestial bodies and close orbits.


Why was tidal port developed?

The water levels within the port are subject to change with the ocean tides. In a non-tidal port, there is usually a river feeding the water levels in the port, minimizing the effects of the moon and the tidal changes. Inland ports are almost always no-tidal. Tidal ports are almost always in coastal regions.
