The tides are the waves of the sea, which arise from the attraction of the earth, the moon, and the sun. When seawater comes up it is called "tide" and when coming down it is called "ebb". The attraction power of the Moon has the highest impact on the seawater of the Earth. Predictions are influenced by a number of factors, including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the phase and amplitude of the tides, the bisexual system of the oceans, and the size of the beach and near-shore baths. Although they are only forecasts, the actual time and height of the tides are influenced by wind and atmospheric pressure. On Amavasya and Purnima, the sun, moon, and earth are aligned. Due to the combined effect of the Sun, Moon, and Earth on these dates, the height of the tides is higher than the normal tides. Let's know more about tides.
