Why the Moon Controls Tides #12

Show notes

The rhythmic rise and fall of the oceans, known as tides, is one of the most fascinating natural phenomena on Earth. Every day, coastlines around the world experience changing water levels as the sea advances and retreats. For centuries, humans have observed this regular pattern and wondered about its cause. Ancient civilizations noticed that tides seemed to follow the motion of the Moon, but the scientific explanation for this connection took many centuries to develop.
