Space Science Tutorial: Spring and Neap Tides

[@glowingspacecow8980]

When I first clicked on the video I thought about disliking because I hated learning about tides for school, and it was too hard for me. Watched the whole video and there is no way I’m disliking this, everything is crystal clear and take my like

[@Teee_d]

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.

[@kamrulahsan7078]

To be exact it happens due to centrifugal force

[@pallaviekbote]

Thanks a lot. I literally struggled to visualize and wanted to see the earth and moon's spinning position in relation to each other. This animation really helps.

Probably the best explanation you'll find anywhere for simplicity and clarity.

[@idreesibhai8056]

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).

[@al1383]

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?

[@MissVungtaunguyen]

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.

[@josemariatrueba4568]

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.

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?

[@AtomicSchool]

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.

[@greatgazelle4028]

@@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!

@@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.

[@josemariatrueba4568]

@@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 KZbin 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. Too many teachers, as well as all journalists and politicians, avoid telling anything but what the bunch of lies that were told to them. Even doctors are lying everywhere. For sure he's not perfect, but I liked his video.

[@josemariatrueba4568]

@@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.

[@kmyase1]

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!

[@kmyase1]

The moon is going to change the center of axes for the earth, and it will somehow add a centripetal force opposite of the moon!

[@IANSTUART-j3c]

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.

[@thinkythoughts6556]

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!

[@AtomicSchool]

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 :)

[@reedoconnor1209]

a fantastic resource for upper stages of Primary School. Thank you

[@edb8773]

I've seen this same explanation on several KZbin videos. It's really not correct. It fails to take into account that the moon is orbiting around the earth. It is this motion, not the differential in gravity between the side nearer the moon and the side of the earth far from the moon, that is the primary driver of tides. This is not quite so simple to understand, but I'll try to explain it. The speed an object orbits depends on its distance from the object it is orbiting around. An object in a distant orbit moves slower than one in a close orbit. for a large object like the earth or moon, the distance is determined by the center of mass. For example, the speed at which the mood orbits the earth is determined by the location of its center of mass. This means that only the center of the moon, near the center of mass, is moving at the speed required to maintain orbit. The far side of the moon is forced to move at the speed of the center of mass since they are connected together, but if the far side could be disconnected from the center, it would fly away from the earth because it is moving too fast for its distance from earth to remain in a stable orbit. Similarly, the side of the moon close to the earth is moving too slow to maintain a stable orbit, and if it were to be detached from. the center of the moon, would fall towards earth. The differential in distance from the near side to the far side cause stress in opposite directions, tending to stretch an object towards at the near side, and away at the far side, with respect to the object it orbits around. This stretching force is known as a tidal force. It is a result of the centripetal force of the orbiting object, which applies much more force that the gravity differential described in this video. The same stretching force is applied to the Earth as it orbits the sun and moon. Yes, the Earth is orbiting the moon even though we normally think of the moon as orbiting the earth. The fact is that both objects are moving around a point that represents the center of mass of the Earth/moon system. The Earth is therefore subject to the same stretching tidal forces as the moon, but unlike the moon, the Earth is covered with water, which can move under influence of the tidal force. As described above, this causes the water on the side closest to the moon to "fall" towards the moon, and the water on the far side to be flung away from the moon, making two high-tide lumps on opposite sides of the earth. As I said above, this is somewhat hard to explain. Let me know if you need further clarification.

In line with I´ve previously said here, now I say what follows. A book on tides more than 300 page long, written by Dr. Bruce Parker, is linked below. He spent most of his career in NOAA and much of his time working on tide related problems as a specialty even while tackling jobs with a much broader scope. Positions he held at NOAA included: Chief Scientist of the National Ocean Service; Director of the Coast Survey Development Laboratory; Director of the World Data Center for Oceanography; Principal Investigator for the NOAA Global Sea Level Program; and head of the U.S. national tides and currents program (in a earlier organizational form before it became CO-OPS). Among his awards are the NOAA Bronze Medal, the Department of Commerce Silver and Gold Medals, and the Commodore Cooper Medal from the International Hydrographic Organization. Dr. Parker is presently a Visiting Professor at the Center for Maritime Systems at the Stevens Institute of Technology. Dr. Parker has written many papers on tidal subjects, some of which are included in the References section of this book, as well as many tidal analysis programs, some still being used in some form in CO-OPS. He also had the privilege of organizing the program for the International Conference On Tidal Hydrodynamics in 1988 and editing the book that resulted. Dr. Parker received his Ph.D. in physical oceanography from The Johns Hopkins University, and prior to that an M.S. in physical oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.S./B.A.in biology and physics from Brown University ... AND HE SAYS: "At the center of the Earth there is a balance between gravitational attraction (trying to pull the Earth and moon together) and centrifugal force (trying to push the Earth and moon apart as they revolve around that common point). At a location on the Earth’s surface closest to the moon, the gravitational attraction of the moon is greater than the centrifugal force of the Earth (moving around the center of the revolving Earth-moon system). On the opposite side of the Earth, facing away from the moon, the centrifugal force is greater than the moon’s gravitational attraction. In a hypothetical ocean covering the whole Earth with no continents (see Figure 2.8) THERE WILL BE TWO TIDAL BULGES RESULTING FROM THESE IMBALANCES OF GRAVITATIONAL AND CENTRIFUGAL FORCES, ONE FACING THE MOON (WHERE THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IS GREATER THAN THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE), AND ONE FACING AWWAY FROM THE MOON (WHERE THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE IS GREATER THAN THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE). Logically, he also analyses thoroughly tidal local effects all over the world ... tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/publications/Tidal_Analysis_and_Predictions.pdf
