Answer:
D. The moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
Explanation:
Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the moon across to the Earth sphere.
Since gravity variate with the distance:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance
For example, see the image below, point A is closer to the moon than point b and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.
The Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the moon over the earth making high tides higher and low tides lower.
However, even when the sun is more massive than the moon, it is farther away from the Earth than the moon. So, it is clear by equation 1 that the moon's gravity has a greater effect on Earth's oceans than the sun's gravity.
Answer: The continuation and the last part of the question is (3) Determine the expression for E0 by substitution of r0 into the above equation for EN. What is the equation that represents the expression for E0?
