What would happen if the distance between the Earth and the moon decreased?
The moon would appear much larger in the sky! But seriously, the moon directly affects the ocean tides. If it were much closer, the ocean would rise and flood coastal areas. If the moon were much farther away from Earth, then the ocean tides would quit and the oceans would stagnate, killing all plant and marine life.
What moon phase has the highest tides?
The moon phase that has the highest tides is the full moon and the new moon, known as spring tides. During these phases, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun align, resulting in more significant differences between high and low tides. This effect can cause higher high tides and lower low tides compared to other moon phases.
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 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.
What would happen if the moon kept getting closer to ther earth the tides weather reactions of everyone what would government do what would happen please someone who knows what there tlking about?
If the Moon were to keep getting closer and closer to the Earth, the Moon would eventually crash into the Earth, killing all life. This isn't likely to happen, because the Moon is massive, and only a stunningly enormous force could budge the Moon in the slightest. If this was to happen it would happen billions of years into the future so you have nothing to worry about. And if it would happen billions of years into the future we may have a gravity ray which could repeal the moon
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.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the moon were closer to Earth, high tides would be higher and occur more frequently due to increased gravitational pull. The closer proximity would enhance the moon's influence on Earth's tides, leading to more pronounced tidal variations.
What will hapen if there is no moon?
We would have barely any light in the night and there would be no more tides in the ocean
What would happen if earth's orbit and the moon's orbit were in the same plane?
That would mean that the Moon would always follow the ecliptic, and it would mean that we would have a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse every lunar month. The solar eclipse would only be seen in and near the tropics at every New Moon, with maximum totality always on the Equator, and the lunar eclipse would happen at every Full Moon. Other than that the tides would be more or less the same, except that the variation in the height of spring tides could be less.

What is the difference between neap tide and spring tide?
Oh, what a delightful question! Neap tides happen when the sun, moon, and Earth form a right angle, resulting in milder high and low tides. On the other hand, spring tides occur during a full moon or new moon when the sun and moon align, causing more pronounced high and low tides. Isn't it wonderful how nature dances between gentle and robust rhythms?
What are spring tides?
Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth all lie in a line, more or less... in other words, at New Moon and Full Moon. This is because at these times the tidal forces on Earth from the Sun and Moon reinforce each other.
Why are tides affected?
Tides are primarily affected by the gravitational force of the moon and the sun acting on Earth's oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, it creates a gravitational pull that causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards it, creating high tides. When the moon is in a position where its gravitational force is perpendicular to that of the sun, it results in more extreme tides known as spring tides.
