high tide and low tide
Just as Earth's gravity attracts the moon, the moon's gravity affects Earth.
Being much smaller, its gravity is weaker and just pulls on the ocean. Tides change throughout the day due to the Sun and Moon's changing positions relative to Earth.
Because the Sun also affects tides, the tides are highest during noon and midnight. In between, they just rise and fall slowly.
The moon's gravity pulls the ocean and causes tides.

What are two useful things moons provide for the planets they orbit?
On Earth, the Moon provides nighttime illumination, and is the major factor in ocean tides. On other planets, neither of these is true. With multiple moons, orbital distances and timing can vary, and the moons on Mars are too far from the planet (and the Sun) to provide much illumination. Illumination is irrelevant on the gas giants. Although tidal forces are present on other planets, liquid water is not. So the one purpose moons fulfill is on Saturn, where they shepherd some of the rings.
What has the most influence on ocean tides?
The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary factor influencing ocean tides. The gravitational force between the moon and Earth causes water on the side facing the moon to bulge outward, creating a high tide, while the opposite side experiences a low tide. The sun also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent than the moon.
What moon phases would cause spring tides?
"Spring" tides, which are a little higher than average, occur at new moons and full moons. "Neap" tides, a little lower than average, occur at the quarter moon phases.
Does magnetism change the tides?
No, magnetism does not directly influence tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational forces between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Magnetism plays a role in other natural phenomena, such as the Earth's magnetic field and magnetic interactions between objects.
What controls ocean tides?
the moon is the main factor behind the oceans tides.
What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?
the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
What role dose gravity play whit the ocean tides?
Its the driving force.
What is the main substance affected by the moons gravity?
The main substance affected by the Moon's gravity on Earth is water. This gravitational force causes the ocean tides to rise and fall in response to the Moon's position in its orbit around Earth.
Why does the position of Jupiter not strongly affect the ocean tides?
Because the moons tide is stronger than jupiters, And jupiter is farther from earth
What Moon phases causes Spring tides?
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
How does the earth's moon affect the earth's bodies of water?
The moon's gravitational pull causes tides in Earth's bodies of water. This pull creates two bulges in the ocean, leading to high and low tides. The tides are strongest during full and new moons when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned.
What is wave and tide?
Well for those of u who must know, waves are ocean currents created by wind. Tides are ocean currents created from the push and the pull of the sun and the moons gravity.
Which of the heavenly bodies causes the tides in the ocean?
The moon is the primary celestial body that causes the tides in the ocean due to its gravitational pull. The sun also plays a role in the tides, but to a lesser extent compared to the moon.
What is the cause of tides in sea?
the moons gravity
