Sounds like an easy question but I just wanna be sure! :P
Tides are caused by the force of inertia from the sun and moon acting on Earth.
True or False?
I think its false because its gravity not inertia.
You are correct, and the sun has little to do with it, by the way.
Tides are caused by the force of gravity from the sun and moon acting on Earth.
The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth
is it true???
You are correct! The statement is false. Tides are actually caused by the force of gravity exerted by the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on the Earth. The gravitational pull of these celestial bodies causes the water in the oceans to bulge, creating high tides. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different locations experience the gravitational pull and undergo high and low tides throughout the day.
To determine the correct answer, you can recall the basic concept of tides. Understanding that ocean tides occur due to the gravitational force of the moon and the sun will help you answer this question accurately. It's important to have a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts to make correct deductions. Good job!
