What causes earth to have tides?

Earth's tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, its gravitational force causes the ocean waters to bulge towards it, creating high tide. At the same time, there is a high tide on the opposite side of Earth due to the centrifugal force in the rotating Earth-Moon system. This results in two high tides and two low tides each day.


Force that causes tides to occur on earth?

The gravitational force exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans causes tides to occur. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger than the sun's, resulting in two high tides and two low tides each day.


The reasons why high tides come at a different time each day?

When the moon is going in its orbit, because it is an elipse, it will be closer to the Earth at different times. Therefore, the Moon's gravity will be stronger, or weaker everyday, which makes it take more or less time between the tides.


Does the moon have a regular cycle of rising and setting with regard to time?

Yes New Moon rises at dawn and sets at dusk 1st Quarter Moon rises around noon and sets at midnight Full Moon rises at dusk and sets at dawn 3rd Quarter Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon


Both earth and the moon have day night cycles because they each what or spin on an what?

Both Earth and the Moon have day-night cycles because they each rotate on their own axis. This rotation causes different parts of the planet or satellite to receive sunlight at different times, creating the cycle of day and night.

What is the rising of the sun each day?

the rising of the sun is not the sun rising at all. It is actually the earth rotation that causes the sun to a pear to rise


What causes two tides to occur each day?

the gravitational pull on the earth from the moon


Why does the moon not always rise at same time?

The time at which the moon rises each day changes because of its orbit around the Earth. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, as it needs to catch up to the rotation of the Earth. This causes the moon to rise at different times each day.


Will The moon always appear over the eastern horizon at the same time each night?

No, the Moon does not rise at the same time each night. Its rising time changes due to its orbit around the Earth; it moves approximately 13 degrees eastward each day. As a result, the Moon typically rises about 50 minutes later each night. This variation causes the Moon to appear at different positions in the sky and at different times throughout the month.


What cause day and nigth?

The rising and setting of the Sun.


Hoe can you calculate the time of the rising of the moon each day?

I guess accurate calculations are quite complicated, but to get a quick idea, it should rise about 50 minutes later every day.

Does the moon have day and night if so why?

Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).


Does the moon rise the same time each day?

No, the moonrise time changes each day due to the moon's orbit around the Earth. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, so it does not rise at the exact same time each day.


Why does the moon and the sun appear in the day sky and the moon is not full?

The Moon rises about 50 minutes later each night. After a few weeks, it is logically rising in the morning, and crossing the sky during the day. As the month goes on, it eventually is rising at night again. The moons movements are independent of the sun. Though day length varies, the sun is always up during the "day", and gone at night. Not so the moon.
