Question

The gravitational effect of which celestial body affects the tides?

Answer 1

The gravitational interaction between the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth leads to the formation of tidal bulges. When the Moon and the Sun are aligned (during a new moon or a full moon), their gravitational forces combine, resulting in higher high tides known as spring tides. When the Moon and the Sun are at right angles (during a first quarter or third quarter moon), their gravitational forces partially cancel each other out, resulting in lower high tides known as neap tides

Answer 2

The Moon's gravitational effect primarily affects the tides on Earth.

The essential heavenly body that influences the tides on Earth is the Moon. The Moon's gravitational power draws in the water on Earth's surface, making it swell out towards the Moon. This gravitational draw makes a flowing lump on the Earth confronting the Moon and a second lump on the contrary side. As the Earth pivots, various areas experience these flowing lumps, bringing about the rising and falling of the tides. Albeit the Sun likewise gravitationally affects the tides, it is less huge contrasted with the Moon because of its more prominent separation from Earth.

Answer 3

The gravitational effect of the Moon affects the tides. The Moon's gravitational pull creates two bulges in the Earth's oceans, one on the side closest to the Moon and one on the side furthest away. As the Earth rotates, these bulges move, creating the rising and falling of the tides.

Answer 4

The gravitational effect of the Moon affects the tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull causes a bulge of water on the side of the Earth facing the Moon, creating high tide, while on the opposite side there is also a bulge of water due to the Moon's pull, creating low tide. The gravitational effect of the Sun also contributes to the tides, but to a lesser degree compared to the Moon. The combined gravitational effect of the Moon and the Sun creates the spring and neap tides, which occur twice a month. Spring tides are the highest and lowest tides and occur during the full and new Moon, while neap tides are the lowest variation in tides and happen during the first and third quarter Moon.

Answer 5

THE GRAVITATIONAL EFFECT OF THE MOON PRIMARILY AFFECTS THE TIDES ON EARTH. THE MOON'S GRAVITATIONAL PULL GENERATES TIDAL FORCES THAT CAUSE THE RISE AND FALL OF OCEAN TIDES.
