Could someone help me with some info for an essay? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 100 POINTS We have to make a 600 word essay, but I just need some notes. Please don't copy and paste though, and I NEED MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE NOTES
THE ESSAY IS ON the effect of the Moon, and Sun, on tidal reaction, and high tides and low tides. What orientation are the Sun and Moon in to create high tides? Low tides? There are two special types of tides. What are they called and what positions are the Sun and the Moon in during these times?

Explanation:

mabye how the moon and the tides have a deep connection heres an article

The moon's gravitational field is so strong that it affects the Earth, most notably the water in the oceans. The side of the Earth that is closest to the moon will have a distinct bulge. The rise and fall of the ocean level results from the moon's gravitational field pulling as it moves in orbit around the Earth.

Tide Levels

Tides are the rise and fall of the ocean water level at any given place. For six hours, a tide will rise on the beach. Then for six hours, the water level will recede into the ocean. Because oceans are liquid, their bulge is more obvious than the land bulge.

High Tides

The side of the Earth facing the moon will have a tidal bulge called the direct tide. Similarly, on the opposite side of the planet, the ocean will also be bulging. This is called the opposite tide, and it happens because the inertial force of the Earth exceeds the gravitational force of the moon at this location. Therefore, high tides occur simultaneously on the the opposite sides of the Earth.

Low Tides

Low tides are the receding waters between the high tides. In some places, low tide can be only a few feet, while in others the ocean can recede much farther. High and low tides both appear two times each in a 24-hour day, but since the moon rises 50 minutes later each day, the tide cycles will differ by the same 50 minutes daily.

Spring Tides

The phases of the moon also affect tides. When the moon is at its full or new moon phase, high tides are at their highest, while low tides are lower than usual. Called spring tides, these tides occur when the sun, moon and the Earth all line up. The added gravity of the sun can make the oceans bulge more than at other times.

Neap Tides

During the moon's quarter phases, the sun pulls against the moon's gravitational pull instead of with it. During these tides, the result is the lowest high tide and the highest low tide -- in other words, the least extreme difference between high and low tides. This is called a neap tide.

Too Close for Comfort

If the moon is at perigee, or the closest point in its orbit around the Earth, the tides can also be affected. Combined with a full or new phase, a moon at perigee can produce the highest and lowest tides of all. Scientists can easily predict these highest of tides so that warnings can be issued for possible coastal flooding.
