Summary
| Description |
English: The Earth's tidal bulges track, or follow, the position of the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. As the angles of these two celestial bodies in relation to the Earth increase and decrease, so do the tidal bulges. Here we observe the moon's changing declination to the equator and the effect that this has on the positions of the Earth’s tidal bulges.
