This is how the tides on Earth are created.

Ok now that visualization is awesome and makes so much sense. The moon's gravitational pull is pretty strong to make that impact. 💪

I’m amazed at how things we take for granted are all part of a bigger and more powerful force of nature. Funny how we fight between each other on earth but fail to notice we are all equally part of something so much bigger.

Curious what's the reason that the moon manages to move so much water by, but we humans (and pretty much any other species) on the planet aren't pulled in any direction. Anyone knows why?

Makes it look like the entire core is made of water

Is that Accurate? That's showing a whole month of lunar tidal influence in fast motion - but does not account for the rotation of the earth each day through those tides - which accounts for the daily tides that we see. Sun is also not accounted for. Seems incomplete at best.

Picture Earth's tides as a graceful dance choreographed by the moon and the sun. 🌕☀️ 1. **Moon's Tender Pull:** The moon lovingly tugs at our planet with its gravity. This pull isn't the same everywhere; it's stronger on the side facing the moon, and weaker on the other side. Imagine Earth gently stretching, forming two gentle bulges, one toward the moon and one away. 2. **Sun's Warm Embrace:** Now, the sun also adds its touch, though it's a bit more subtle. When the moon and sun line up perfectly or stand at opposite sides of Earth, their gravitational forces blend in beautiful harmony. This creates extra-high and extra-low tides, which we call spring tides. But when they're at right angles, they balance each other, leading to less dramatic tides, known as neap tides. 3. **Earth's Slow Twirl:** As Earth gracefully twirls on its axis, coastal areas waltz through these tidal bulges. It's like the gentle rise and fall of a soothing lullaby, happening twice a day, creating the mesmerizing rhythm of tides along our shores. 🌊💃🕺

Amazing

Gravity of the moon and life on earth delicate balance I must say the complexity of life on earth 🌍 is difficult to comprehend in its totality
