What causes increased tidal volume?
The position of the moon & sun relative to the potion of the Earth experiencing the tidal change. The moon and sun both exert gravitational pull on the oceans.
How did sailors use the constellations long ago?
Sailors used constellations as a navigational aid to determine their position at sea. By observing the position of specific constellations relative to the horizon, they could establish their direction and make adjustments to stay on course. This practice, known as celestial navigation, helped sailors navigate the open oceans before the invention of modern navigational tools.
Why does the shape of the tidal bulge change during the course of a month?
As the orbits of the Moon about the Earth and the Earth around the Sun are not circular, the distance to each of these bodies varies. Since the strength of gravitational attraction is determined, in part, by the distance between the objects, as the distances change so too does the strength of the tide-raising forces.
What is the tool that sailors used to determine their position at sea?
Sailors traditionally used a sextant to determine their position at sea. This navigational instrument measures the angle between a celestial body, such as the sun or stars, and the horizon. By knowing the time of the measurement and using celestial charts, sailors could calculate their latitude and longitude, helping them navigate accurately across the oceans.
What causes tides to change throughout the day?
Tides change throughout the day primarily due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different areas experience varying gravitational forces, leading to the rise and fall of sea levels known as tides. The Moon's position relative to the Earth is the dominant factor, causing high and low tides approximately every 12 hours. Additionally, the Sun's gravitational influence contributes to tidal variations, resulting in spring and neap tides depending on their alignment.
Is the Moon's orbit around the earth completely straight?
No, the moon's orbit is an approximation of an ellipse. The plane of this ellipse is tilted by about 5.14 degrees, which is why we don't get lunar and solar eclipses every month. The ellipse also has irregularities causing it to deviate from a true ellipse due to perturbations in earth's gravity field, tidal movement of the oceans, and the gravity of other objects (particularly the sun).
