To understand how the Moon affects the tides, you need to know that the Moon's gravity pulls the oceans towards it. Even though the Moon is very far away, it is massive enough for its gravitational ...

The impact on the oceans if the Moon disappeared would be much smaller tides, about one-third the size of what they are now.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the ...

Scientists found Titan’s orbit is shifting faster than expected due to tidal dissipation. A recent cosmic event likely ...

Uranus has the craziest tilt in your Solar System. Its tilt is about ninety-eight degrees. That means its north pole is ...

The ‘city killer’ asteroid (possibly) heading our way might spare us and slam into the Moon instead, scientists said. The ...

Gravity not only maintains the stability of these orbits but also influences phenomena like tides on Earth, caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The paper, authored by David Jewitt from the ...
