Question:Earth is bigger than moon , it means earth is also bigger in gravitational pull than moon, if moon attracts the water on the surface of Earth, then earth is also attracting its water WHICH IS AT ITS SURFACE, the net force is towards the earth, Then, how moon can attract the water of Earth.???

@@AtomicSchool ofcourse! Thanks so much. Its youtubers like you that make me so happy and eager to learn not the boring tecahers who keep rambling on about. atopic with no joy
The bulge on the other side of the earth is not because the moon or sun gravitational force pulls the Earth itself, it’s because the moon's gravity stretches the water along that axis, and cause bulge on other side.
Best video EVER for teaching middle schoolers and those that need modifications. Thank You for helping educators!!!! Rock the knowledge for student engagement.
I've watched several video on tides but i can't understand one thing. Why, when the earth is between the moon and the sun, the tides are as strong as when the moon and the sun are aligned on one side of the earth? I mean, when they are on the same side of the earth, their gravitational pull is stronger, becouse it's moon + sun in one direction, but when they are at the two sides of the earth, shouldn't their gravitational fields fight one against the other causing the tides to be less extreme?
Good question. BOTH the moon and sun make bulges on BOTH sides of the earth. So both bulges will be increased when the moon and sun become aligned, irrespective of whether the moon and sun are on the same side, or on opposite sides of the earth.
@@AtomicSchool Right, thanks for the answer! i haven't tought about the fact that the bulges can be caused by both the sun and moon. Btw, while trying to understand this thing i've watched a lot of videos, and yours, the two you made about tides, are the best on youtube, very good job!
Thanks for making such amazing videos😊👍🏻. It has taught me the entire ls in a simple manner which is more interesting which the teachers wud have taught me in the school in a really BORING way🙄
The moon's gravity pulls the earth towards the moon causing the water on the opposite side of earth to bulge. But earth's gravity isn't strong enough to counter this bulge? The water on the top and bottom of earth is close to earth because of earth's gravity. Why isn't the water on the opposite side of earth close to earth, from earth's gravity?
I think if we take away the moon's gravity, then the oceans on the earth would be the same every where. The differences we see because of the moon's. pull.
For the same reason astronauts don't feel gravity because their ship is spinning around the earth suffering a centrifugal forze equal to the centripetal forze from gravity. Because earth and moon spin around their common center of gravity counteracting the gravity forze that otherwise would make moon and earth come sticked together in a very short time.
Hello. Thank you for making this video as it was brilliant. May I ask, is there any chance you could do a video as of why tidal locking takes place? I can’t see to fully understand the reasoning behind it.
@@enpassant1119 I think that he did explain about the baricenter in another video, but I don't think that he mentioned that we should consider baricenter as a fix point, instead of the center of the earth. continuously changing positions under the surface of the earth in a 24h period. Centrifugal forces counteracting the gravity forces between moon and earth, is what actually stretches the seas in and out the directions of the straight lines defined by the center of gravity of the moon and baricenter, which are the same straight lines defined by the center of earth and baricenter. Seas are being pooled towards the moon by gravity forces and pushed away of the moon by centrifugal forces of equal magnitudes that counteract because their vectors form 180 degrees. In a period of six hours, the seas are mainly still but the rest of the earth, excluding seas, moves 90 degrees in this shorthand period of time. Actually the seas don't move themselves respect to the moon, they are still aligned with the line defined by the baricenter and the moon. It's the solid earth that has moved a lot while the tide in a certain location goes from highest to lowest in the meantime, but the seas don't move at all! I'm only mentioning the moon because the effect of its presence is more than twice the effect of the sun. That's why the distance between moon and earth is mainly constant, because centrifugal and centripetal (gravity) forces counteract. Other centrifugal and gravity forces, mainly from the sun, avoid the distance moon-earth being exactly constant.
@@enpassant1119 Yeap! There are too many things that are removed because they are too close to the truth these days. In fact my perception is that only telling big lies is allowed in the press, radio and TV. Wikipedia and RUclips are no exceptions. I didn't know that my comments were removed, but it does not surprise me at all. BTW the moon-earth baricenter is so close to earth that is always moving under the surface of the earth. I don't know for sure but most probably the sun-earth baricenter falls moving well inside the sun, considering the the big distance but also the huge mass of the sun. This guy might understand everything about tides or he might not. Tides are interesting but their understanding is not too complex. Very precise formulas a century old have been giving predictions of theorical tides, at any location, at any date forever. Maybe he understands well, but his orders are to keep ignorance surviving.

For sure he's not perfect, but I liked his video.
@@enpassant1119 I don't know what I'm missing but I'll be pleased to learn it. One thing I must say is that in equinoxes, around the end of March and September, the combined effects of sun and moon are maximum, because the 23.5 degrees tilt of the axis. After a lifetime experience with boats since I was born, is that the precise high and low tide hours and levels never match the theorical ones. Atmospheric pressure wind speed and direction, andtbe shapes of the coasts mess it al up. I always round the time to the closest hour despite all minutes, and to the closest foot or a third of a meter. High pressure drops water level by one centimeter per extra milibar over the standard 1013mb value. Winds against land also increases hight and makes the high tide to come sooner.
Good question! Moon, although tiny, is much closer than Sun, so has greater gravitational effect than the Sun. Gravity is a really weak force that reduces drastically with distance (Inverse square)
Recently started sea swimming and have watched umpteen videos trying to understand the tides, this is *by far* the clearest. Thank you! Just one question. I understand the reasoning for the spring tide when it's a new moon- the sun and moon are in line and therefore the force of gravity is drawing the ocean in the same 'direction' (the right on this diagram). But when it's a full moon aren't the sun and moon essentially pulling in opposite directions resulting in a less dramatic difference between high and low? Thanks again!
Thanks for your feedback. Having the moon and sun on the opposite sides of the earth is a bit counter-intuitive, but both have additive tidal effects. That's because the tidal effect is due to the DIFFERENCE between the gravitational forces on the near and far side oceans, for each of the moon and sun respectively. This means that, for both positions, both the moon and sun stretch the oceans, making them "double-stretched". Hope that helps :)
I think the earth spins because when the sun and moons are in perpendicular orientation, the sum of the gravitational pull acts like a rope to spin the earth!. Could the water at the other side of the moon be bulging due to centripetal force? I think it makes a better explanation!
Scientists believe the earth formed from slowly spinning dust 4.5 billion years ago. As it was pulled together by gravity between the particles, the spinning rate increased due to conservation of angular momentum. Regarding the centrifugal force explanation I am will upload a video debunking that soon.
@user-mr2sq4gm5e if you look at how you generate neutron beams, you really need two electric fields to generate neutron beam! I think they are related!

Omg bro you litterally explained the whole serie,you just amazing,but the whole serie of tides containes also the first video of moon rotation and the tides that it makes
Hi.. Good explanation. A small correction at 4:30, in total 60 (30 sets) high tides and 60 (30 sets) low tides- out of which 4 (2 sets) are spring tides and 4 (2 sets) are neap tides.
Great question. BOTH the sun AND the moon cause bulges on BOTH sides of the earth. This means that it doesn't matter whether the sun and moon are on the same side, or opposite sides, two bulges will appear.
AtomicSchool I have on question regarding to this same thread. I just don’t really get it since when both moon and the sun are facing the earth from the same direction then the so as called gravity from these two combined factors makes it 1,5x (Maybe not the actual real number). But now comes the problem that I do not understand. When there’s a Spring tide which where the moon and sun are in line but on the opposite sides, why does it still make as strong ”Spring tide” effect? Is the spring tide a bit less ”effective” then?
AtomicSchool Sorry I am writing from my phone so I can’t make paragraphs for some reason. Hope that the previous message ain’t too messy. I am preparing for the Finnish marticulation exams and your videos have really helped me. My great teacher has links on many of your videos on our ”refresher course”. They’ve really helped me.
@@mymymigu Great to hear from you in Finland, Juul. Yes, the concept you refer to is counter-intuitive. Maybe look at it another way. If you got rid of the moon, then the sun on one side would create a bulge on BOTH sides of the earth, creating 2 high tides. If you got rid of the sun, the moon on the other side would also create a bulge on BOTH sides, creating 2 high tides. When they are in the same line at the same time, the effects ADD on both sides of the earth, making supertides on BOTH sides. I hope this helps. It's tricky to word it, and I might make it clearer in a future video.
@@AtomicSchool Now that it's not 1AM unlike yesterday and you also explaining this it really does make sense now. Thank you! We had a prep test today basically about this exact same topic/problem and I think I might have actually explained it right there. Once again, thank you for your videos and fast replies even to these older clips. I'm sure you've helped thousands of others like me with these videos.

(Reason: 1water is at Earth's surface, 2 Earth is bigger in size and gravity).
Why spring tide also happened during a full moon? I mean during a new moon, I get it that the sun pulling force assist / join with the moon pulling force to pull the water stronger toward the moon (the water is pulling on 1 side). But during full moon, isnt it the earth will be pulled on both side, say on its right by the sun and on its left by the moon, therefore, it's like they are cancelling each other?
We have this fucking science assessment and I will hear this video in my nightmare for how many times I’ve had to hear it. No offence to the creator. But I’ve watched this so many times it’s not funny
Respected sir/madam, the video was absolute understandable. Thank you for this. Mam could you please make the video regarding theory of relativity with examples in our daily life. Please
So for spring tides, the high tide is at it's highest and the low tides are at it's lowest? Are all 4 tides the day of New Moon at it's highest and lowest? Like for instance, the next new moon coming is June 3, 2019. In my area these are the following tide times: Low Am is 6:14 High AM is at 11:53 and the Low PM is 5:59 and the High PM is 11:53. I would like to go take pictures of where I fish so I can see the rock structures when the tide is at it's lowest point, so does that mean I can go at 6:00pm and the tide will be at it's lowest for the month?
Your conclusions are correct regarding spring tides. Mind you I am not an expert at the variations away from the model, which can happen due to land masses and ocean currents and winds. But I would take my camera if I were you :) Actually, the tide charts should also tell you what tide heights are predicted, and you can compare them with surrounding days.
Very amazing video i understood the concept clearly.................can you make a video explaning waves, velocity of waves,structure of waves pls.Yours video helps me a lot
This is great. Could you do a video explaining why summer on one hemisphere = winter on the other? So for example why when it's summer in the U.S. it's winter in New Zealand. If the earth is orbiting the sun on an elliptical orbit one would think that when the earth was farthest from the sun it should be winter on both hemispheres and when it is closest to the sun it should be summer in both hemispheres. This always puzzled me.
Hi John, thanks. The seasons are not caused by the elliptical orbit, but by the earth's tilt when rotating on its axis. This angles one hemisphere towards the sun cause its summer, and the other hemisphere away from the sun causing winter. Then 6 months later the first hemisphere angles away, and the other towards, causing the opposite seasons. Here's a video on that (not mine) ruclips.net/video/WLRA87TKXLM/видео.html
Can you please tell, during the full moon day the moon reflects the sun's light fully on earth & does that create eny affect on attraction than the new moon day.First thank you for your video ☺️
Hi Ranjan. No, the extra light because we can see the full reflection of the moon has no gravitational effect. Light has no gravity. However, the full and new moon both happen when the sun-earth-moon align, so we get higher spring tides because the sun and moon gravities combine.
At the full moon they are alined but gravity of the moon and sun are in OPPOSITE direction. So why do we have spring tide again instead of mildest one? Am i missing something?
Great question, Andriy. BOTH the sun and moon create bulges on BOTH ends of the earth's ocean. This means that they add, not subtract when aligning. Like pulling a rubber band from both ends. The tidal stretching is not due to the absolute gravitational attractions to the moon, or sun, but the DIFFERENCES in attractions. These create bulges at both ends.
@2:02 doesn't the earth's shadow (as earth is lit by sun ) fall over moon when all three are in line ? How is a full moon visible at14.7 day time then?
@@dshekhar403 lunar eclipses can only happen on a full moon. The moon is actually pretty far from the earth, so slight angles mean that the moon appears full to us but the earth's shadow isn't hitting the moon
Hello Steven, Guernsey is a lovely part of the world, but sadly you have been misled into thinking this is how the tides work. This is completely wrong, the far side tide is more of a centrifugal effect. The graphics are awful and the explanation belongs in the 15th century. Science does not rely on opinion, it’s all about the evidence and facts, acquired through experimentation. The centrifugal effect is responsible for tides on the opposite side. The correct explanation already exists here: ruclips.net/video/Mr89IgzsMVk/видео.html where Dr Becky PhD explains it perfectly.
How can I answer this question without graphical visualisation--> The question is: *At the time of combined gravitational pull of moon and sun on earth,why tidal bulge forms on the opposite end as well?*
Great question. The sun on one side creates bulges on _both_ sides to the earth. The moon on the other side creates bulges on _both_ sides of the earth. When combined, _both_ bulges will be larger. It's counterintuitive.
Hold up, the second spring tide isn't the same as the first one, because the moon and sun are now on opposite sides. Their forces aren't "lined up" as the video puts it. Wouldn't they be closer to cancelling each other out? In the diagram at the second spring tide, the moon is pulling left and the sun is pulling right. At the first Spring tide, both are pulling to the right. Why does it say the sun and moon "line up again" for the second spring tide? These seem different
Hi Rob- good question, and the answer is not intuitive. BOTH the sun and moon create bulges on BOTH sides of the earth, irrespective of which side either is on. When they are on opposite sides of the earth, the sun makes 2 bulges one on each side of the earth, and the moon ALSO makes 2 bulges, one on each side. This means that the bulges add together no matter which side the sun/moon are on. They don't cancel.
@@AtomicSchool Nice answer, thank you. The sun creates two bulges, the moon creates two, and when they are opposite, those bulges combine on equally opposing sides. Is the full moon spring tide generally the same size as the new moon tide, or does one have a larger effect?
@@rob7993 Another great Q, Rob. I would like to think about that. I looked up some charts and it seems the full moon tides are bigger than the new moon tides, but I don't quite know the reason yet.
Many people are saying your explanation is wrong but as you showed in the video that diagram it's kind of same given in my textbook so I don't think so this explanation is wrong btw thank you I understood the concept very well you explain more better than my teachers 😁😅
Nice video very informative, But i have one question why there is another spring tide in full mon, i mean if moon pull from an opposite direction than the sun , and the moon have higher gravity we will end up with a tide slightly towards the moon why there is a high spring tide there? I'm right?
On the full moon day ,the earth would be in between the moon and the sun.As we know that the gravitational pull is something that attracts any object towards it. The moon's and sun's gravitational pull acts in the opposite direction (as they are on the either side of the earth)which would reduce the resultant and should cause tides of lower height.But, everywhere it is mentioned that both the forces gets added ,how come it happen? Could you please let me know?

The bulge on the other side of the earth is not because the moon or sun gravitational force pulls the Earth itself, it’s because the moon's gravity stretches the water along that axis, and cause bulge on other side.

Hi.. Good explanation. A small correction at 4:30, in total 60 (30 sets) high tides and 60 (30 sets) low tides- out of which 4 (2 sets) are spring tides and 4 (2 sets) are neap tides.
hi...thanks
I have watched 5 videos and them came at your channel finally able to understand it
Just beautiful explanation, thanks
Thank you Saeed.
Thank you, I've been trying to figure this out for ages, this was really useful.
Thank you sooooo much this video really helped
Great to hear, Zian.
I want to ask u that in full moon condition moon gravitation and sun gravitation are in opposite direction so how can they make high tide
Great question. BOTH the sun AND the moon cause bulges on BOTH sides of the earth. This means that it doesn't matter whether the sun and moon are on the same side, or opposite sides, two bulges will appear.
AtomicSchool I have on question regarding to this same thread. I just don’t really get it since when both moon and the sun are facing the earth from the same direction then the so as called gravity from these two combined factors makes it 1,5x (Maybe not the actual real number). But now comes the problem that I do not understand. When there’s a Spring tide which where the moon and sun are in line but on the opposite sides, why does it still make as strong ”Spring tide” effect? Is the spring tide a bit less ”effective” then?
AtomicSchool Sorry I am writing from my phone so I can’t make paragraphs for some reason. Hope that the previous message ain’t too messy. I am preparing for the Finnish marticulation exams and your videos have really helped me. My great teacher has links on many of your videos on our ”refresher course”. They’ve really helped me.
@@mymymigu Great to hear from you in Finland, Juul. Yes, the concept you refer to is counter-intuitive.
Maybe look at it another way. If you got rid of the moon, then the sun on one side would create a bulge on BOTH sides of the earth, creating 2 high tides. If you got rid of the sun, the moon on the other side would also create a bulge on BOTH sides, creating 2 high tides. When they are in the same line at the same time, the effects ADD on both sides of the earth, making supertides on BOTH sides.
I hope this helps. It's tricky to word it, and I might make it clearer in a future video.
@@AtomicSchool Now that it's not 1AM unlike yesterday and you also explaining this it really does make sense now. Thank you! We had a prep test today basically about this exact same topic/problem and I think I might have actually explained it right there.
Once again, thank you for your videos and fast replies even to these older clips. I'm sure you've helped thousands of others like me with these videos.
the animation is awesome & perfect ...
Great comment, thanks Shubham.
@@AtomicSchool The animation is really perfect,i was not expecting such a perfect animation...keep it up
@@shubhampawar6698 Im' on it :)
Really helpful for my lesson today.
Great to hear, Sovannarith!
Question:Earth is bigger than moon , it means earth is also bigger in gravitational pull than moon, if moon attracts the water on the surface of Earth, then earth is also attracting its water WHICH IS AT ITS SURFACE, the net force is towards the earth,
Then, how moon can attract the water of Earth.???
(Reason: 1water is at Earth's surface, 2 Earth is bigger in size and gravity).
Thanks, you explained it so clear.
Thanks Leonardo
I'm confused. You said at the end that Each month the "sun" spins almost 30 times. Is that supposed to be sun or earth??
can you make video on cold water currents and warm water currents
That's not my specialty, Saroj :(
Thanks sir for making the concept clear.
You're welcome, Usman
Thanks sir your videos are great
Thank you Krishna
Sir you are great ☺️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
You're welcome!
Super video, Great explanation. Watching this nearlly at the anniversary of the flood that occured at our place during a spring tide.
Such an informative video..Thank you😊
You're welcome, Krithiga!
Why spring tide also happened during a full moon? I mean during a new moon, I get it that the sun pulling force assist / join with the moon pulling force to pull the water stronger toward the moon (the water is pulling on 1 side). But during full moon, isnt it the earth will be pulled on both side, say on its right by the sun and on its left by the moon, therefore, it's like they are cancelling each other?
The shape of the ocean is distorted more if pulled from both sides, so a Spring Tide.
The centrifugal explanation for tides is wrong,
Really, it's so helpful.
Great explanation
Thanks Rakesh
who else here from online classes
Haha me
Our professor suggested these videos.
Not me....
me
We have this fucking science assessment and I will hear this video in my nightmare for how many times I’ve had to hear it. No offence to the creator. But I’ve watched this so many times it’s not funny
Thanks for the very informative video,and a local video too👌👍🏼
Thanks for your feedback :)
Great tutorial.. it helped me a lot. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Brilliant video well explained!
Thank you
Thank you so much. The visuals are indeed helpful!
Respected sir/madam, the video was absolute understandable. Thank you for this. Mam could you please make the video regarding theory of relativity with examples in our daily life. Please
Thanks Simran. I hope to make a video on relativity one day, but there are a few more topics before then.
It is really a nice video. You have explained so well that a student can easily understand the terms mentioned in it.
“..the earth also moves towards the Moon, but not so much..” WHAT?? If THAT WAS TRUE, we would have moon sitting in the middle of Pacific right now.
So for spring tides, the high tide is at it's highest and the low tides are at it's lowest? Are all 4 tides the day of New Moon at it's highest and lowest? Like for instance, the next new moon coming is June 3, 2019. In my area these are the following tide times: Low Am is 6:14 High AM is at 11:53 and the Low PM is 5:59 and the High PM is 11:53. I would like to go take pictures of where I fish so I can see the rock structures when the tide is at it's lowest point, so does that mean I can go at 6:00pm and the tide will be at it's lowest for the month?
Your conclusions are correct regarding spring tides. Mind you I am not an expert at the variations away from the model, which can happen due to land masses and ocean currents and winds. But I would take my camera if I were you :) Actually, the tide charts should also tell you what tide heights are predicted, and you can compare them with surrounding days.
I'm thanking you sir for the simplest explanations.
It's very helpful for understanding.
Great to hear, Joseph. And thanks for your feedback.
What is the neap high and spring high
well explained thanks!

Very amazing video i understood the concept clearly.................can you make a video explaning waves, velocity of waves,structure of waves pls.Yours video helps me a lot
It is also very nice that you answer every question......keep it up.
@@Theshowstopper2010 Thanks Avani. You can see 3 videos on waves in my playlist at ruclips.net/user/AtomicSchoolplaylists . Good luck!
This is great. Could you do a video explaining why summer on one hemisphere = winter on the other? So for example why when it's summer in the U.S. it's winter in New Zealand. If the earth is orbiting the sun on an elliptical orbit one would think that when the earth was farthest from the sun it should be winter on both hemispheres and when it is closest to the sun it should be summer in both hemispheres. This always puzzled me.
Hi John, thanks. The seasons are not caused by the elliptical orbit, but by the earth's tilt when rotating on its axis. This angles one hemisphere towards the sun cause its summer, and the other hemisphere away from the sun causing winter. Then 6 months later the first hemisphere angles away, and the other towards, causing the opposite seasons. Here's a video on that (not mine) ruclips.net/video/WLRA87TKXLM/видео.html
@@AtomicSchool Cool, thanks for the knowledge and the link.
@@jonjameson2629 Pleasure
Yes it has to do with the axis tilts, hence why the equator is always the most warm/mild no matter what tilt because that area is the least affected.
Im only watching this because of this quarantine stuff, online school sucks
Noted.
THANK YOU!!, THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GUNNA SAY
same lol
II Prior same
Me too
Can you please tell, during the full moon day the moon reflects the sun's light fully on earth & does that create eny affect on attraction than the new moon day.First thank you for your video ☺️
Hi Ranjan. No, the extra light because we can see the full reflection of the moon has no gravitational effect. Light has no gravity. However, the full and new moon both happen when the sun-earth-moon align, so we get higher spring tides because the sun and moon gravities combine.
Thanks again for quik response.i got it.
@@ranjanperera8511 :)
Very well explained
Thanks Nivedita
Very clear - thank you
Thanks Chris
Thnku that was really really helpful...
You are welcome, Nisha!
Thank you for great explanation 😊☺️
Thank you so much 😊
At the full moon they are alined but gravity of the moon and sun are in OPPOSITE direction. So why do we have spring tide again instead of mildest one? Am i missing something?
Great question, Andriy. BOTH the sun and moon create bulges on BOTH ends of the earth's ocean. This means that they add, not subtract when aligning. Like pulling a rubber band from both ends.
The tidal stretching is not due to the absolute gravitational attractions to the moon, or sun, but the DIFFERENCES in attractions. These create bulges at both ends.
Brilliant, the best tutorial on the tides I’ve seen, good show Sir..
@@PaulR387 Thanks Paul ... much appreciated.
@2:02 doesn't the earth's shadow (as earth is lit by sun ) fall over moon when all three are in line ? How is a full moon visible at14.7 day time then?
In 3 dimensions the earth, moon and sun rarely line up exactly. However, when they do, there is an eclipse.
@@AtomicSchool okay .. thankyou...so eclipse may happen on a full moon day too?
@@dshekhar403 lunar eclipses can only happen on a full moon. The moon is actually pretty far from the earth, so slight angles mean that the moon appears full to us but the earth's shadow isn't hitting the moon
Thank you so much! Im 61 and from Guernsey where we have massive tides and I had never known exactly why till now.
Hello Steven, Guernsey is a lovely part of the world, but sadly you have been misled into thinking this is how the tides work. This is completely wrong, the far side tide is more of a centrifugal effect. The graphics are awful and the explanation belongs in the 15th century. Science does not rely on opinion, it’s all about the evidence and facts, acquired through experimentation. The centrifugal effect is responsible for tides on the opposite side. The correct explanation already exists here: ruclips.net/video/Mr89IgzsMVk/видео.html where Dr Becky PhD explains it perfectly.
@@hafsagreer thanks a lot, i was a bit confused when he said the earth was getting pulled
How can I answer this question without graphical visualisation-->
The question is: *At the time of combined gravitational pull of moon and sun on earth,why tidal bulge forms on the opposite end as well?*
Great question. The sun on one side creates bulges on _both_ sides to the earth. The moon on the other side creates bulges on _both_ sides of the earth. When combined, _both_ bulges will be larger. It's counterintuitive.
These visuals are great! Thank you!
understood it tq for the video
Hold up, the second spring tide isn't the same as the first one, because the moon and sun are now on opposite sides. Their forces aren't "lined up" as the video puts it. Wouldn't they be closer to cancelling each other out? In the diagram at the second spring tide, the moon is pulling left and the sun is pulling right. At the first Spring tide, both are pulling to the right. Why does it say the sun and moon "line up again" for the second spring tide? These seem different
Hi Rob- good question, and the answer is not intuitive. BOTH the sun and moon create bulges on BOTH sides of the earth, irrespective of which side either is on. When they are on opposite sides of the earth, the sun makes 2 bulges one on each side of the earth, and the moon ALSO makes 2 bulges, one on each side. This means that the bulges add together no matter which side the sun/moon are on. They don't cancel.
@@AtomicSchool Nice answer, thank you. The sun creates two bulges, the moon creates two, and when they are opposite, those bulges combine on equally opposing sides. Is the full moon spring tide generally the same size as the new moon tide, or does one have a larger effect?
@@rob7993 Another great Q, Rob. I would like to think about that. I looked up some charts and it seems the full moon tides are bigger than the new moon tides, but I don't quite know the reason yet.
I was looking for this answer for around 2 hrs .... thank u both ... but I m still only 80 % satisfied.. but this is huge atleast u reply to queries
@@vikaschaudhary9366 Thanks Vikas. I'm making more advanced videos on tides.
The voice is like warm butter
WOW!! Thank you so much for this!
I'm glad that you liked it, Nozi.
Many people are saying your explanation is wrong but as you showed in the video that diagram it's kind of same given in my textbook so I don't think so this explanation is wrong btw thank you I understood the concept very well you explain more better than my teachers 😁😅
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, there are many opinions on tides.
Excellent explaination. Thnx a lot!
Good to hear, Robert!
i am watching this in science and this was entertaining thank you
Thanks for your feedback
Thanks bro needed this for my exam
Nice video very informative, But i have one question why there is another spring tide in full mon, i mean if moon pull from an opposite direction than the sun , and the moon have higher gravity we will end up with a tide slightly towards the moon why there is a high spring tide there? I'm right?
On the full moon day ,the earth would be in between the moon and the sun.As we know that the gravitational pull is something that attracts any object towards it. The moon's and sun's gravitational pull acts in the opposite direction (as they are on the either side of the earth)which would reduce the resultant and should cause tides of lower height.But, everywhere it is mentioned that both the forces gets added ,how come it happen?
Could you please let me know?
Hi Sushma. Both the moon and sun create oceanic bulges on both sides of earth. When they align, these bulges reinforce each other. I hope that helps.
@@AtomicSchool I had the same question but I did not understand that answer could you please explain it a bit more ?
