Summary Introduction
To write:
The tides affected more by the gravitational effects of the moon when the Sun is bigger.
Introduction:
Coastal areas are influenced by the tides, rise and fall of the sea levels. The Gravitational pull of Moon and Sun causes tides. At the equator, oceans are pulled towards the Earth, not the moon and thus, creating High tides at the equator and low tides at higher latitudes. The tidal range is the difference between high and low tides.
