The Moon affects the tides of this planet, much more than the Sun.
It is the gravitational pull of those masses in space which pull the water of the oceans from the Earth and the Earth from the water. (There IS a tidal bulge on the same side as the Moon AND on the opposite side! And smaller ones towards and away from the Sun).
What else can I help you with?
What is the importance of knowing the seasons in our place?
Light of day does not effect earths high and low tides, the moon does. The Moon is in the gravitational pull of earths orbit. When the earth turns it pulls the moon slowly. But the moon does get ahead of the earth at some points causing high tide, but when the moon lags behind the earths pull it is low tide.
What are the factors that affect the height of a tide?
What are the most important factors influencing the heights and times of tides?
How low tides and high tides affect gathering shellfish at the seashore?
gathering of sea shellfish at the seashore
What occurs when the sun and moon pull on earth at right angles to each other?
The main effect is on the tides, when the sun and moon are at right angles it produces neap tides. When in line it produces spring tides. Spring tides are abnormally high, neap tide are abnormally low
Tides caused by inertial and gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are called?
Astronomical Tides. I just took the Ocean's test.
What does the moon affect the earths tides?
It helped me a lot
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
How does the sun affect your tides?
silly
What role does sun play in Earth's tides?
Believe it or not, none. The Earths tides are solely affected by our Moon.
Does the Sun affect tides?
should do, doesn't that produce spring tides
How does the position of the moon and the sun affect the tides?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
Does the suns gravity affect the earths tides?
Yes, but to a much lesser extent than that of the Moon (the Moon is less massive but much closer than the Sun).
How the positions of the Earth moon and sun affect the tides?
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
Does thermal heat have an effect on earths tides?
Thermal heat does not directly affect Earth's tides. Tides are primarily influenced by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun. However, thermal heat can impact the density and circulation of ocean waters, which may indirectly influence tides in localized areas.
Why does the moon have a greater influence on earths tides than the sun does?
Fancy boy
What forces affect tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
How does sun and moon affect tides?
The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
