Full moon and tides


Tonight is full moon, exactly at 8 PM. The night is furthermore completely cloudless and thus shows the night sky from its most beautiful side. As always during full moon (also with new moon), the level of sea water is quite higher than normal. Also the low tide will be lower than during other lunar phases.

This video I recorded this afternoon, during a cool bath in our natural pool. It was a great day to have a swim as you can see in the video. With this kind of high tide it is always much more funny to jump into the waves!
At full moon, the sun and the moon are exactly opposite each other - seen from the earth. As a result, the so-called tidal forces (gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon on the water of the world's oceans) are superimposed, causing the tide to become higher than normal, and the ebb also lowers more on the same day. In case of new moon, the same is happening, but the sun and the moon - again seen from the earth - are now on the same side, but this also superimposes the tidal forces of our two most conspicuous phenomena of our sky.
