Tides And Their Cause

Do you really want to know how tides are formed? Of course, the Moon is involved but there is much more to its involvement than simply gravity forces. The Earth and the Moon are locked in a celestial dance that gives rise to centrifugal forces. How do the gravity and centrifugal forces combine? What are the size of the resultant tidal tractive forces? And then there is the Sun, by no means a minor player in its contribution to tides. How do actual tides vary from those of the simple model? How is it possible to make predictions with regard to tides? You are invited on a fascinating journey.
