- The Sun is much more massive than the Moon, but the Moon has a bigger influence on Earth's tides than the Sun. Why is this?arrow_forwardToday at the beach you see the highest of all high tides during the last month. You see the Moon in the daytime sky. What is the most likely Moon phase? Why?arrow_forwardAs seen from above the Earths North Pole, the Moons orbit is counterclockwise. Use a coordinate system with the positivez axis pointing north. Find the magnitude and direction of the Moons angular velocity. Hint: Draw a sketch of the Moons orbit from this perspective above the North Pole, including thecoordinate system.arrow_forward
