Tides
Tides- By: Jacob Deemer
Tides
The position of the Moon and the Sun also affect Earth's oceans
Tide: the daily rise an fall of sea level
Primarily the Moon's gravity that causes Earth's oceans to rise an fall twice each day
The Moon's gravity is slightly stronger on the sides of Earth closer to the Moon and Slightly weaker on the side of Earth opposite the Moon
The Sun's affect on tides is about half that on the Moon
