Tides - In Oceans, Rivers, Everywhere!

Hello everyone. Welcome back to another article! Have you wondered that what are tides? So in this article, we are going to learn about tides, which are present almost in every water body, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, everywhere! Tides are the rise and fall of water in seas and oceans due to the combined gravitational forces of the sun and the moon, and the rotation of the earth. Since the sun is far away the gravitational pull of the Moon is stronger. The earth experiences 2 high and 2 low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Based on the position of the sun and moon, two types of tides occur twice (each) a month. Neap Tides Neap tide occurs when the Sun, Moon, and the Earth make a right angle, with Earth the vertex. During the tide, the height of the tide is a little lower than average. That's because both the gravity of the moon and sun cancel each other. These are also known as Lunar Tides.                           ...
