Why, if the sun is so much more massive than the moon, isn’t it responsible for the Tides? Use Universal Law of Gravitation to explain.
How does the position of the moon and sun affect the tides? Which is more important?
What is the name of the type of tide when the moon and sun are in a straight line with the earth? Is the tide higher or lower than normal?
What is the name of the type of tide when the sun and moon are at right angles with respect to the earth? Is the tide higher or lower than normal?
While the Earth spins around its axis and orbits around the sun, then suppose we remove the sun from its location, will Earth continue to spin around its axis and orbits around the point where the sun used to be? Why or why not?
