When teachers explain ocean tides, they frequently describe how the moon's gravity pulls on Earth and all of its water. This, they often say, leads to a gravitational imbalance, which stretches ...

Earth has only one natural satellite, the moon, which is relatively large compared to its parent planet. It orbits Earth at ...

The moon does, however, experience changes in its shape and gravity. How the moon responds to these tidal forces is, to a large degree, dependent on its internal structure. This means the tidal ...
