We all know tides have something to do with gravity from the Moon and Sun, but if gravity affects the motion of all objects equally, then how come oceans have large tides while other bodies of water don't? It's because your mental...

Today Phil explores the world of tides! What is the relationship between tides and gravity? How do planets and their moons become tidally locked? What would happen if you were 300km tall? Important questions.

Upon viewing the Exploring Earth, Sun, and Moon video series, students will be able to do the following: Cite some of the characteristics of Earth which make it unique in our solar system, including: Earth's moderate temperature, the...

Simulating why there are 2 tidal bulges. The differential gravity causes what seems to be to bulges of water on both sides of the earth. Why? A better explanation is to see these bulges as vector forces. I'm also explaining why there...

This video provides a clear explanation of tides, describing how they are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. It explains the different types of tides, including high tides, low tides, spring tides, and neap tides....

How the Moon affects daily tides and drives extreme spring tides, when the Sun and Moon align. Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. The Moon creates and controls the tides. Its gravitational pull causes ocean water to bulge...

Explore the fascinating phenomenon of tides and how they are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. We learn how ancient civilizations accurately predicted tides and how this knowledge continues to be crucial for...

This video looks at moons: celestial objects that orbit planets. This video focuses on Earth’s moon: its formation, rotation, orbit, atmosphere, temperature, exploration, size, topography and how it effects life on Earth through the tides.

A song I wrote to introduce my elementary students to the concept of gravity and to maybe explain why I'm always falling down! (lyrics below) From Newton's basic laws of motion. Purchase the song on itunesf='http://goo.gl/8n3PZH'...

I was blessed enough to be able to perform an experiment on NASA's KC-135 Weightless Wonder. Zero Gravity is an amazing experience. I, along with my team-mates represented the University of Alabama's Engineering department with our...

We’ve covered a lot of incredible stuff, but this week we’re talking about the weirdest objects in space: BLACK HOLES. Stellar mass black holes form when a very massive star dies, and its core collapses. The core has to be more than...

We owe a lot to our moon. Beautiful moonlit walks, higher tides, and regular seasons - all are made possible by our little rocky friend. But what would happen if we picked up a second moon?
