Answer: A tidal force is related to gravity, but it isn't the same thing. It's really the difference between the the strength of gravity at two locations. The gravitational attraction between two objects (say the Earth and the Moon) decreases with distance.

The tidal force acting on an astronomical body, such as the Earth, is directly proportional to the diameter of that astronomical body and inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from another body producing a gravitational attraction, such as the Moon or the Sun.

Answer:

Gravity is the force that keeps us standing. It keeps us from floating, like you do when you are in space, away from gravity.

Tidal Force - The tidal force is a force that stretches a body towards and away from the center of mass of another body due to a gradient (difference in strength) in gravitational field from the other body

Hopefully this helps!!! ;)

Nesterboy [21]

No, 100 people in an established country like the United States is no big deal, and they are not very likely to have a huge impact on the environment, culture, or beliefs. However, in a developing country like Nigeria, those 100 people could gravely impact the culture, environment, and beliefs. The Country is not established they do not have set values and 100 people is a good amount of people in a lowly populated area.
