Since the moon's gravity creates the ocean tides, doesn't it affect our body's fluids even at a least %?
Tidal forces create the oceanic tide of Earth's oceans, where the attracting bodies are the Moon and the Sun. Since the oceans' mass is much larger than the fluids running through our bodies, is it possible that they may affect even in a tiny way our own fluids??? For those that DO NOT KNOW: Why do all of the planets orbit the Sun? Why do moons orbit planets?Why doesn't the Sun move off and leave the planets behind?The answer to all of these questions has to do with gravity. Gravity: force that is a property of mass. It pulls things together.We don't notice the pull from the Sun cause it also pulls on the Earth by the same amount. But the Sun's gravity is strong enough to keep the Earth from shooting Away.Although the Earth is going fast, it keeps turning to go around the Sun. Its like they were tied together with an invisible string+moons orbit many of the planets.They are kept there by gravity.The Sun itself does not sit still in space.The whole thing stays together cause of GRAVITY.
How does tidal locking work? Why does the gravitational pull of an object permanently fix another object facing the same position?
Take an egg shaped object (oval) and try to stand it on its end. The egg shaped object will generally fall over (make sure its equal density though out the object). There is a unique orientation where the energy of the object is least. Even if balanced perfectly on end the object will still eventually get disturbed enough to roll onto its side. When the tiny egg shaped object is on its side there's more mass closer to Earth's surface minimizing the energy.Tidal locking works in a similar way. Tidal forces create bulges pointing towards and away from the other gravitating object its orbiting. These forces arise from the fact that gravity gets weaker as range increases. A picture of this is shown below:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti...The bulge contains slightly more mass than non bulge areas and this mass is pulled/pushed slightly along the line between the Earth and moon. Now because the gravity is slightly stronger in the bulge pointing towards Earth's surface this huge slightly oval shape actually likes to stand on its end. Now like Earth's tides this bulge will move over the surface as the object rotates but it's always slightly lagging as it takes time for the bulge to form or dissipate because of friction and resistance of the surface. Rocks and even water don't clump into slight bulges without some resistance. Think about how much energy is lost when tides come in and out in our oceans.Over time this resistance of the surface is enough lock the rotation. The effect is very slight for most orbiting objects but given millions or billions of years it adds up.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti...Edit:I think it's important to accurately explain how tidal forces work. The water is not “sucked” upwards in Earth’s tides. The video below is one of the only accurate and full explanations I’ve found. It explains how the bulges form and how Earth’s tides work.
How do the sun and the moon work together to form tides?
The sun sucks on the earth real hard- it pulls the water of the oceans towards it. The moon also sucks real hard. : ) Basically, it's due to gravity. The sun is so enormous and heavy that it pulls the earth towards itself. This causes the water in the oceans to rise and fall. The same with the moon. God bless you too, dear! Have an awesome Thanksgiving/Turkey day and Christmas!!!!!
Are the basic forms of energy: gravity, oxidation, fusion, and fission? if so,what is anaerobic decay?
basic forms are : heat light mechanical ( potential , kinetic, elastic) magnetic electrical sound chemical (including nuclear) decay is therefore chemical.
If the gravity from the moon pulls the ocean to create tides, how come it doesn’t also pull lakes?
I’m surprised how many answers to this question are not quite right. I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that the tides are not caused by the moon pulling on the body of water. The moon (and the Sun) pulls on the Earth causing it to deform slightly. The side of the Earth facing the moon is pulled slightly toward the moon, such that the Earth has a very slight egg shape pointed toward the moon. This has the effect of changing the solid ground elevation of sea level all over the planet. On the sides of Earth adjacent and opposite the moon, solid ground gets a little higher. At 90 degrees away from that on the Earth’s surface, i.e. where the moon is viewed at the horizon, solid ground gets a little lower.Now, since water runs down hill, water with a free flow path flows toward areas where the moon is rising or setting. So, it is the gravity of Earth that actually moves the water, not the gravity of the moon. Check the high and low tide schedules at the beach. You will find high tide occurs at moonrise and moonset. Low tide occurs when the moon is high in the sky, or on the other side of the planet.As for lakes, they are not as free to flow as the oceans, being landlocked. If the lake is big enough, the distortion of the Earth’s crust can still create a “downhill” gradient by which the water will shift.So, tides can occur on lakes, but not because the moon’s gravity is pulling it.Edit: Thanks to Darell Penner for a little push back. The correlation of high tide to moonrise is not consistent due to the complexity of the interacting forces. Here’s my response to him:Thanks for the comment. I dug a little deeper and my explanation was a bit over simplified and did make assumptions. I had never compared the competing influences of the sun and the moon. I just ran the numbers and the tidal force of the moon is only 2.2 times stronger than that of the sun, so the timing of the in between phases would be more complicated. I imagine the lag time for the water to flow also plays a part. But I did check a local tide schedule and new and full moon roughly correspond to dusk and dawn high tides, whereas first and last quarter phases roughly correspond to midday and midnight high tides.
If moon can create tides in earth’s sea due to gravity then why it can't attract atmospheric gases?
There is an attraction between the Moon and the Earth’s atmosphere, however the effect is not as obvious as an ocean tide. Other forces are at work. Any gravitational effect from the Moon, is subject to the uneven solar heating on Earth's dayside, which distorts the spherical symmetry of the atmosphere.Theory predicts stronger lunar pressure oscillations in the tropics but their amplitude rarely exceeds 100 microbars or 0.01 percent of the average surface pressure. Detecting such a tiny signal masked by much larger pressure variations associated with weather phenomena required the development of special statistical techniques and the accumulation of a long series of regular observations.The atmosphere thins with distance from the the earths surface, but is quite energetic. O2 has relatively weak bonds, and requires little UV energy to disassociate the O2 to form O and reform to create ozone O3.Deeper in the atmosphere weather conditions constantly move air masses around the Earth. The following diagram illustrate the energy balance of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is used to show energy interactions through various layers of atmosphere. In short, the atmospheric gases are in constant motion and mask the Moon’s attraction.
A. Explain how tides work and why there are two high tides each day?
Tides result from the gravitational pull exerted on the Earth by the Moon,and to a lesser extent by the Sun. The Moon's gravity pulls the earth creating a bulge in the oceans on the side facing it.The centrifugal force produced by the Earth's rotation cause water to pile up on the opposite side as well.The tidal bulges remain in place through the day,and the Earth rotates through them .So ,each place passes through both bulges in each 24-hour period ,producing high and low tides(which occur at right angle to the bulges) twice in 24 hours.The effect of the Sun is less powerful(due to its distance)than that of the moon,but when the sun and the moon are in alignment with the earth,their combined gravity creates the highest tides called spring tides.When the sun and the moon form a right angle in relation to the earth,the lowest tides called the neap tides occur.
