Why does water get effected by gravity by the moon but not us as humans not as much?
In: Earth Science
Something that makes this easier to understand
The moon only creates waves because the oceans are so big. The moon can only pull each water droplet a tiny bit, but it pulls on many of them at once, and it builds into a wave over miles and miles of open water.
It can only make a wave because it can get a running start, essentially. Otherwise it isn’t pulling very hard.
