Who observed the first living cell?

What factors can make tides vary even in places that are close to each other?

the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly


Which force is responsible for tides in the sea?

The "force" your talking about is the moons gravity as well as the suns gravity for example a "spring tide" is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth therefor stretching the oceans into an oval. A spring tide is the optimal tide meaning it is the strongest type of tide but only occurs roughly every month


Can smell be observed but not measured?

smell can not be measured but can be observed


How is a tidal range affected when the moon earth and sun are in line?

Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.
