The Earth is not a perfect sphere. The rotation of the planet has caused the Earth to 'bulge' to a certain extent. The distance around the Equator is further than any other measurement of the circumference.
the German offensive at the battle of the bulge caused a 'bulge' in the allied front lines, thus came about the term 'battle of the bulge'........
It means when your in space and you have a big bulge.
The bulge was when the Germans surged ahead 60 feet in the Allied defenses in the Ardennes' Forest.
856,525 Allied soldiers fought in the Battle of the Bulge and the axis had 496,363 soldiers in the battle of the Bulge
it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
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.
High tide.
High tide.
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.
When passing through a tidal bulge, you would experience either a high tide or a low tide depending on which side of the bulge you are on. Tidal bulges are areas of elevated water levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun, leading to the cyclical rise and fall of tides.
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
The Moon exerts gravitational pull on Earth, creating a tidal bulge on the side of the Earth that faces the Moon. This gravitational force causes water to be drawn toward the Moon, resulting in a rise in sea level, known as high tide. Conversely, on the opposite side of the Earth, a second bulge occurs due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth-Moon system's rotation. Consequently, these tidal bulges lead to the cyclical rise and fall of ocean levels, known as tides.

Yes, Mercury has a tidal bulge because of Sun. The Sun gravitational force on Mercury's surface is more than 17 times than Moon forces Earth.
The observer will experience a high tide as they pass through a tidal bulge. This occurs because tidal bulges are areas of elevated water levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.
The tidal effects are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. The different positions of the sun and moon are the causes of high and low tides on Earth.
