Why does the moons gravitational pole influence tides more than the suns gravitational pool

Biology
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
5 0

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. In general, ocean tides are not generated by the overall strength of gravity, but instead by the differences in gravity from one spot to the next (the gravitational gradient). Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun. Because ocean tides are the effect of ocean water responding to a gravitational gradient, the moon plays a larger role in creating tides than does the sun. But the sun's gravitational gradient across the earth is significant and it does contribute to tides as well.

pychu [463]

Answer:

The valves' main job is to keep the blood moving in one direction – back up towards the heart. When the valve is open, blood freely flows upward towards the heart and when the valves are closed, blood cannot flow back

*<br> 1. In the water cycle, water goes from a liquid to a gas during which stage?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:Evaporation Evaporation is simply the process by which liquid turns into a gas. Water (a liquid) turns into vapor (a gas) when heat energy is applied to raise its temperature to 100°C (212°F). Water in the liquid state is a compound, and the heat breaks up the bonds into water molecules, which is gaseous.
