The Hunter’s Moon on Oct. 17 will be the closest to Earth, resulting in a king high tide of 6.82 feet at 9:57 a.m. in Santa Monica, according to tide charts produced by NOAA.

The tides are not only influenced by the moon’s gravity but also by the shape and depth of the ocean basins, the coastline features, the wind, and the weather. These factors can cause local ...

If the moon is at its closest to our planet, the force of gravity will be stronger. As a result, water levels will actually rise higher than typically and drop further as we cycle tides.

As the Moon orbits Earth, its gravity pulls on the Earth's oceans, ... Earth, and Moon align) and neap tides (when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other).

Let’s consider the size of the moon because our natural satellite is the main source of Earth’s familiar tides. The moon is, on average, 384,000 kilometers from Earth, but based on the lunar ...

Hey Ray: The science of the tides 02:00. PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - When you're at the beach you undoubtedly notice what looks like the tide moving in and out.

Today, the bulging of Earth’s oceans with the tides exerts a gravitational attraction that slowly accelerates the Moon, raising its orbit by 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year.

TAYLOR WELL, YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BUT RIGHT NOW EARTH IS AT ITS CLOSEST POINT TO THE MOON. FIRST WARNING, METEOROLOGIST BROOKE SILVERING EXPLAINS HOW IT AFFECTS OUR TIDES BROOKE. ALL RIGHT. THANK ...

We know that beneath its crater-pocked silicate crust, the moon has an olivine mantle and a metallic core. Some research has also suggested that a partially molten layer may lie at the base of the ...

The moon's diameter of about 2,160 miles (3,475 km) is a bit more than a quarter of Earth's diameter. The lunar mantle is the layer located beneath the crust and above the core, spanning a depth ...
