How the Moon Pulls the Oceans
Close your eyes and let the quiet science of the tides guide you into sleep. A gentle journey into how the Moon's gravity pulls the oceans, creating the rhythm of high and low tides. The Moon's gravitational gradient is stronger on the side facing Earth and weaker on the opposite side, causing two tidal bulges. The Sun's alignment with the Moon creates spring tides, while right angles create neap tides. This ancient dance between Earth, Moon, and Sun has shaped our planet for billions of years. Let the calm rhythm of the tides carry you into a deep and restful sleep.
