"On the “near” side of the Earth (the side facing the moon), the gravitational force of the moon pulls the ocean's waters toward it, creating one bulge. On the far side of the Earth, inertia dominates, creating a second bulge. In this way the combination of gravity and inertia create two bulges of water."

This is great! For the first time, I understood the tides clearly. You are a great teacher and the images are very helpful
I found this very informative! I subd to you and rang the bell ! Love science!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're the first for this video, lol :) Glad to have you onboard!
Excellent illustrations and explanation best ever thanks
2:47 fascinating, but why the tidal bulge on the far side of the earth as well?

i've read somewhere that the moon is taking a water from earth...?
That might have been poetic?
