...opposite sides of the globe, we will explain this point a little more particularly. In Fig. 80, where the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, it is the time of new moon, and a spring tide occurs. From the reasoning employed in Arts. 681-2, it...

...is explained how it is that the lunar is greater than the solar tide. (d) Spring and Neap Tides. — "When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, as at new moon, the lunar and solar tides are heaped one on the other, and a very large tide is the...

...to itself and also on the opposite side at the same moment. The highest tides will therefore occur when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, as at S and M, or on opposite sides of the earth, as at S" and M. The former position occurs at the...

...influence of the sun is principally manifested in increasing the height of the tidal waves at new moon (when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth and reinforce each other by pulling in the same direction), and at full moon (when they are on opposite...

...Newtonian law of gravitation. When three bodies instead of two are in a straight line, as, for instance, when the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the earth, their so-called attraction upon the earth is the sum of their separate action, as practically shown...

...solar (sun) tides have only s about one third of the strength of the lunar (moon) tides. At new moon, when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, as in Figure 53, the lunar (L) and solar (S) tides act together, and hence the rise and fall of the...
