SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996).

Detailed explanation-2: -While the moon and sun cause tides on our planet, the gravitational pull of these celestial bodies does not dictate when high or low tides occur. Tides originate in the ocean and progress toward the coastlines, where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -The relative distances and positions of the sun, moon and Earth all affect the size and magnitude of the Earth’s two tidal bulges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tides are formed due to the gravitational force exerted by the Sun and the Moon on the Earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon on the earth.
