What is the effect of the moon's revolution?
A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.
What is a tidal budge?
A Tidal Bulge is a high tide. It is a bulge of water on the side of the earth under the moon, and it is caused by the moon's gravity attracting the water. There is a similar bulge on the opposite side of the earth, away from the moon, to counterbalance the moon bulge. The areas between the two bulges experience low tide.
