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

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.
Why do tides occur on our planet explain?
a tide is when water levels change in a large body of water. tides occur because of the moons gravity. the position of the moon and how close it is to earth determines if it is a high tide or low tide.
Why the Neap Tides occur during the first and third quarter moon?
the gravitation of the moon is greater and the tides can either become bigger or smaller
What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?
the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides
Are there land tides as well as sea tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational effect of (mainly) the moon. The position of the moon relative to a particular point on Earth determines the tide. The most noticeable effect is on the sea but everything (including the land) is affected to some degree. So short answer - Yes.
What factors can make tides very even in places that are closer to each other?
Its harry styles dancing to music.
Why don't the normal number of high and low tides occur in some places?
In some places, the normal number of high and low tides may not occur due to factors such as the shape of the coastline, the depth of the water, and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. These factors can create variations in tidal patterns, leading to different numbers of high and low tides in certain locations.
How are spring tides created and what factors contribute to their occurrence?
Spring tides are created when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon align, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. Factors that contribute to their occurrence include the positions of the sun, moon, and Earth in relation to each other, as well as the phase of the moon.
Do tides occur every eleven hours at the same spot?
No, they do not. It's a lot more complicated than that, and 11 hours is not really even close to being right. The time between subsequent high tides (or low tides) in most places is about 12 hours and 25 minutes.
Why do the normal number of high and low tides not happen in some places?
Because of the effect of local land masses. For example, there are 4 high tides daily in Southampton Water. This is because of the effect of the Water being in an 'alleyway' and off the Solent, itself a constricted waterway.
Do spring tides have the lowest low tides compared to other types of tides?
No, spring tides have the highest high tides and lowest low tides compared to other types of tides.
What are some other causes of waves?
Waves are caused by several natural factors. This included tides, along with the moon and gravitational pull. The wind also affects the movement of tides.
Are spring tides high or low in comparison to other types of tides?
Spring tides are higher than other types of tides.
How many high tides occur in a month?
It depends.In most places, there are roughly 2 high tides and 2 low tides per day ("roughly" because the tidal cycle is a bit longer than 24 hours), but under some circumstances there may be only one high and one low tide per day in some places. This depends on the time of year, the phase of the moon, the local ocean floor geography, and several other factors that make it really complicated.However, if you're just looking for an approximate answer: about 60.
What might explain the fact that water is rising in one area and falling in another?
This is happening because of tides, which happen in the opposite places on Earth at the same time. The magnetic field on the Earth and the Moon are pulling towards each other, causing the tides to rise in one place and fall in another.
What has the greatest effect on the Earth tides why?
The gravitational pull of the moon has the greatest effect on Earth tides. The moon's gravitational force causes bulges in the Earth's oceans, creating high and low tides as the Earth rotates. Other factors, such as the sun's gravity and the shape of the coastline, also play a role in affecting tides.
Are the ocean tides more pronounced in regions close to the equator - since the moon is more-or-less overhead throughout the year?
Not really. The major influence on the magnitude of the tides is topography; the arrangement of the seafloor and coastlines. So there are higher tides in places like the Bay of Fundy (between Canada and Maine) or in the Bristol channel on the west coast of England.
