How are tides influenced by the moon and Sun?
Tides The rise and fall of sea levels Caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon The force of gravity is affected by mass and distance (radius) Which is bigger? Sun or Moon? Which is Closer? Sun or Moon?
Tidal Bulge
Tidal Range The difference in water level between high tide/Low Tide Depends on the positions of the Sun and moon Spring Tide Neap Tide
Spring Tide Largest tidal range Earth, moon, Sun form a straight line
Neap Tide Lowest tidal range Earth, moon, sun form a right angle Neap – sounds like “Knee”, which can bend at a right angle
