The correct answer is D) When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

Tides in Earth's Oceans are the highest when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

As we all know, it is the moon that influences the level of the sea and affects the formation of tides in the ocean. But you know what, the Sun also influences the formation of tides. Not as much as the moon but the sun indeed exert some influence. But when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line during a full moon or new moon, it is when the combination creates the highest tides. Scientists call this phenomenon "spring tides."

Explain the main reason why the position of the moon in the sky changes over the course of a single night. In other words why is

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation: The moon changes its visual position relative to the earth during one night because the earth revolves around its axis. As the earth revolves around its axis it means that within a few hours an observer at a certain point on earth will, due to the earth's rotation, change the angle at which he sees the moon.

The fact that the moon also moves, that is, rotates around the earth, and that it takes about a month for a full rotation around the earth, is why we will see the moon in a different position in the sky at the same time next night.
