The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth primarily causes ocean tides. The Moon's gravitational force has a more significant effect due to its proximity, leading to the rise and fall of sea levels in a regular cycle. The Sun also contributes to tidal patterns, but to a lesser extent. Together, these gravitational interactions create complex tidal movements influenced by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
What else can I help you with?
How does tide happens?
The tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth, and its effect on the water levels of the oceans.
What is Uranus' gravitational pull relevant to Earth's?
uranus's gravitational pull is 91% or earth's.
Is moons gravitational pull renewable?
Yes, the gravitational pull exerted by the moon on Earth is considered renewable because it is a natural force that is constantly present. The gravitational pull of the moon creates tides in Earth's oceans, and this interaction has been occurring for billions of years and will continue as long as the moon and Earth exist in their current states.
True or false tides result from the rising and falling of the ocean's surface caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon earth?
True. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans, which result in the rising and falling of the ocean's surface levels.
How far from the earth is the gravitational pull of the earth the same as the gravitational pull of the moon?
i dont now
What is the cause of tides on earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the Earth
Where is the earth pulled on from the moons gravitational pull?
The oceans
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
How are high tide and low tide alike?
They are Both created by the moons gravitational pull on the earth
Why gravitational force of son didn't pull earth towards it?
Because Earth and all the other planets and moons have a gravitational pull. This pull is distributed so that everthing stays in orbit.
How does tide happens?
The tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth, and its effect on the water levels of the oceans.
Why do moons not fall into the planet they are orbiting?
Because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon
Giant tidal waves which wash away sand and rock from beaches are caused by?
It's caused by the moons gravitational pull
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
What is the power of the Moon's gravitational pull over the mediterranean compared with moons gravitational pull over the Atlantic?
Approximately equal everywhere on the Earth; that is to say, almost nil.
Causes of tides?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on the Earth's oceans. The gravitational force creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth closest to the moon and on the side farthest from the moon, causing high tides. As the Earth rotates within this gravitational field, two high tides and two low tides occur in most coastal areas every day.
