😳WHY❓❓❓

Why sea waves on full moon 🌊🌊🌕🌝

Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moon’s gravity. In fact, the height of the average solar tide is about 50 % of the average lunar tide.
