Relating moon rise/set to the tides. It appears that a high tide

Too tired to read everything and make sense but the gravitational field is not perfectly round, that influences stuff

>>2350280
Yeah that makes sense. I didn't think that there was only one factor involved here because I didn't think the distance varied an extraordinary amount from rise/set to peak..

>>2350268
This is bait, right?

>>2350375
No.. go look at a tide chart and moon rise/set and you will see the correlation. I have seen science blogs claiming the moon rise is when low tide occurs and this is simply not true. Their claim is that the moon will bring a high tide when the moon is at its peak altitude because it is overhead... but a low tide occurs at peak altitude. So there has to be some reason why and the explanation is probably due to the eliptical path and mention gravitational field.
tl;dr: there's no accurate information about the correlation to moon rise/set and high/low tides when there clearly is one (would really like to know)

This has some accurate information but about the moon rise/set is just wrong. Moon set corresponds to high tide, not low tide.

"The two times that correspond to Moonrise and Moonset are your two low tides per day. And the closer to the equator you are, the more severe your tides are, while the closer to the poles you are, the less drastic your tides are!"

This is so wrong because the highest tides in the world are not found at the equator, they are found much north, example Canada: bay of fundy, 16.3m, taller than a 3 story building

Had already been there, doesn't really explain anything to do with lunar path or moon rise/set.

I hate how I notice the full moon very time. It is always the 1-3 nights I can barely fall asleep, look outside and see that shining white grimmace.
