It's all down to the proximity of the moon to the Earth. If it was further away, tidal influence would be much less.

What is the Moon's effect on Earths tides?

The Moon's gravitational pull causes tides on Earth. When the Moon is closest to a particular area, it exerts a stronger gravitational force and creates higher tides known as spring tides. When the Moon is farthest away, it creates lower tides known as neap tides.

Can you Compare and contrast the influences of the sun the moon and earths rotation on the tides?

The tides on Earth are primarily influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, with the moon having a stronger effect due to its proximity. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it causes high tides, while areas at right angles experience low tides. The sun also contributes to tides, but its effect is about half that of the moon. Earth's rotation causes the cyclical rise and fall of sea levels, leading to predictable tidal patterns as different areas move in and out of the gravitational influence of both the moon and the sun.


What ios the primary cause of earths ocean tides?

They are mainly caused by the gravitation of the Moon. More specifically, the Moon attracts the part of Earth that's closer to the Moon stronger than the part that is away from the Moon. To a lesser degree, tides are also caused by the Sun - for the same reason.

What are the effects of a supernova on earth tides?

I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun. The tidal forces are (approximately) inversely proportional to the thirdpower of the distance, so although the Sun attracts us stronger than the Moon, the Moon has a greater influence on the tides. A far-away object should have no noticeable effect on the tides.I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun.
