Eclipses are not caused by tides. For a solar eclipse, the Moon must be between the Earth and the Sun.

How does a solar eclipse affect tides?

During a solar eclipse, the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth creates gravitational forces that can cause a temporary disruption in tides. The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on Earth's oceans may vary slightly during an eclipse, leading to either higher or lower tides than normal in some locations.


What phase of the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season. Spring tides occur at new moon and full moon, while neap tides occur during quarter phases of the moon.


What happens to the ocean during a solar eclipse?

During a lunar eclipse, the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, the Sun will tend to cancel some of the effect that the Moon has on the earth, but you can still expect high tide to occur during a lunar eclipse, but it will be slightly less than if the Sun were not on the opposite side of the Earth.


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.


During an eclipse of the sun the high ocean tides on earth are?

During an eclipse of the sun, the gravitational forces between the sun, moon, and Earth align, causing higher ocean tides known as spring tides. These occur because the gravitational pull of the sun and moon reinforce each other, leading to increased tidal range.

What happens to the tides during a solar eclipse?

Oh, isn't that just a beautiful question! During a solar eclipse, the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are aligned, creating what we call a spring tide. This means that high tides are a bit higher and low tides are a bit lower than usual. Just like in nature, everything has its own way of dancing together in harmony.


During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra and are called tides?

Which phases of the moon bring the highest tides what cause the height tides?

The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.

What would happen if earth's orbit and the moon's orbit were in the same plane?

That would mean that the Moon would always follow the ecliptic, and it would mean that we would have a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse every lunar month. The solar eclipse would only be seen in and near the tropics at every New Moon, with maximum totality always on the Equator, and the lunar eclipse would happen at every Full Moon. Other than that the tides would be more or less the same, except that the variation in the height of spring tides could be less.
