What is the effect of the moon's position relative to the sun on tide formation?
the moon's position affects the tide because of it's gravity the full moon's gravitational pull is a bit stronger than the other times the moon's gravitational pull pulls water making the tides higher
Does the moon effect the intensity of a hurricane?
No
How does the moon play a role in the changing seasons?
The moon has no effect on when the seasons change.
How does diameter of Pluto compare with that of our moon?
The moon is about 2,160 miles across. Pluto is about 1,475 miles across, so Pluto is about 68% the diameter of our moon.
Who compare and contrast perigee tides and spring tides?
Perigee tides occur when the moon is at its closest point to Earth (perigee), leading to higher tidal ranges due to the moon's stronger gravitational pull. In contrast, spring tides happen during the full and new moon phases when the Earth, moon, and sun align, resulting in even more pronounced high and low tides. While both types of tides produce extreme tidal variations, perigee tides are influenced solely by the moon's proximity, while spring tides are a result of the combined gravitational effects of the moon and sun. Overall, both phenomena contribute to significant tidal changes but arise from different celestial alignments and distances.
When the moon is near the horizon it appears larger than when it is high in the sky. This effect is primarily a result of?
The phenomenon where the moon appears larger near the horizon than when it is high in the sky is primarily due to the Ponzo illusion, a psychological effect. When the moon is close to the horizon, our brains compare it to objects on the ground, like trees and buildings, creating a perception of increased size. In contrast, when the moon is overhead, there are fewer reference points, making it appear smaller. This is an optical illusion rather than an actual change in the moon's size.
What are the strongest tide making effect?
The moon has the strongest effect on the earths tides.
Compare and contrast the Sun and the Moon?
Both the sun and the moon are round when seen with the naked eye. They are also both forms of light that are in the sky. The sun is visible during the day how the moon is usually only visible at night.
Can you Compare and contrast the influences of the sun the moon and earths rotation on the tides?
The tides on Earth are primarily influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, with the moon having a stronger effect due to its proximity. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it causes high tides, while areas at right angles experience low tides. The sun also contributes to tides, but its effect is about half that of the moon. Earth's rotation causes the cyclical rise and fall of sea levels, leading to predictable tidal patterns as different areas move in and out of the gravitational influence of both the moon and the sun.
How does the size of the moon compare to the size of the moon?
The size of the Earth is significantly larger than the size of the Moon. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers, making Earth roughly 3.7 times larger than the Moon.
What is the effect of the sun's light shining on the moon?
The effect is that we see the phases of the moon here on Earth. The reason for different phases is the angle and position of the sun and moon.
How does the Moon's iron rich core compare to that of the Earths?
the moon has more
Is a crescent moon a polygon?
No, a crescent moon is not a polygon. A polygon is a closed, two-dimensional shape with straight sides, such as triangles, squares, or pentagons. In contrast, a crescent moon has a curved shape and does not have straight sides or a closed form, making it a non-polygonal figure.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
What is one way in which earth and the moon contrast?
One way in which Earth and the Moon contrast is in their size. Earth is significantly larger than the Moon, both in terms of diameter and mass. This size contrast is also reflected in their gravitational forces and atmospheres.
What effect does the moon phase have on relationships?
The moon phase has no effect on relationships, that's just a rumor.
Why does the moon effect the water?
The moon's gravitation pulls water masses to cause the tidal effect.
