The Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth, and to a lesser degree the Sun's gravity as well. The Sun's gravity force is much weaker on Earth's surface than the Moon's gravity because of its greater distance.

While the Moon creates the overall change in the level of the oceans, each location will have slightly different tides because of sea depths, topography, and other factors.

What Planet experiences tidal effects created by the sun?

When do high tides come about?

High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.


What are The effects of the moon on the earth and tides?

The gravitational pull of the moon causes tides on Earth. When the moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth, we experience higher high tides (spring tides), while when the moon is at a right angle to the Sun and Earth, we experience lower high tides (neap tides). This gravitational force also creates tidal bulges on Earth, causing the oceans to rise and fall throughout the day.


How does the moons orbit effect the earth?

If you live by the sea what can you tell about the moon?

That it has strong tidal effects on the earth due to it's gravitational force, the force between the earth and moon. So, you would see the tides go in and the tides go out!


How do tides affect lakes?

Tides do not directly affect lakes because tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. Lakes are not large enough to experience significant tidal effects.
