If you take away the sun what kind of tide would you have?

Assuming life on earth still existed and that water\ncould still be found (not all frozen), the tides \nwould be smaller, because the Moon influences the\ntides about 90% but the other 10% influence comes\nfrom the Sun's gravitational force... That's why\nthe tides are higher at New Moon and Full Moon, \nbecause both the Moon and Sun are pulling along\nthe same line, whereas at first quarter and last\nquarter Moon, the tides are relatively lower, \nsince the Sun and Moon's gravitation somewhat\ncancells each other out

Some crazy tide action...

So the tides are caused by the graviational pull of the sun and the moon.  The moon is a lot closer, so it's pull is much stronger (even though it's the smaller body) and the position of the sun relative to the moon determines how big the difference between high and low tide is (it's bigger when they're lined up).  The moon pulls all the water on the Earth towards it (actually it pulls on everything, but because water is fluid it's the only thing that moves noticeably in response).  So the there's more water on one side of the Earth than the other, so one side has high tide because there's a whole bunch of extra water over there, and the other side has low tide because of all that water that was pulled to the other side.  As the Earth rotates, a different part will be closest to the Moon and the bulge of water will shift.\n\nThe actual mechanics of tides are a bit more complicated than that (I didn't account for the effect of the Earth's rotation, among other things), but that's the general principle that allows there to be tides on both sides.

Seaweed, of course. The sunlight is effective  in that zonal depth.

lunar activity couses the tides with the gravitational pull

no.  it affects the tides in a big way though, which can lead to weather.  But the moon doesn't affect our weather directly

Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.\n\nSpring Tides\nWhen the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.\n\nNeap Tides\nDuring the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons. \n\nIf we had a second moon our tide system would be more complicated.

Incoming tide is freedom and grace. It is not destructive rather replaces law with love. Accept His gift now while the time is still ripe.

The moon is responsible for about 2/3 of the tide, and the sun is responsible for about 1/3 of the tide. There are also effects from the other planets and celestial bodies, but since they are further away and/or smaller, the effects are much less. \n\nThe tides are caused because on one side of the earth, the gravitational pull of the moon (and other bodies) pulls the water away from the earth, and makes a big lump we call a high tide. On the other side of the earth, the earth gets pulled away from the water, leaving another big lump. That is why in most places we see 2 tides a day (although in some places there are no tides, or 1 tide a day, or more than 2 a day). \n\nWhen the moon and the sun pull together, you get spring tides. When the moon and the sun are not pulling together, but at cross purposes, you get neap tides. \n\nThere are tides in the atmosphere too, and in the ground, as you might expect. It is not just in the water, but we can see the water tides easiest in the oceans and some big lakes.

The desity of water makes it more suseptable to the pull of the moon's gravitation. Depening on it's course around the earth throughout the year the tides follow in it's wake. Not just hight tide and low tide are effected byt this but swells and tsunamis. The tides are also effected by plate techtonics but science has yet to decide whether the causation is more that plate tectonics are effected by the same gravitational pull as the ocean tides or my subterrainian thermo tides.

the tides are caused primarily by the moon, the gravitational pull of the moon bunces up the surface of the ocean. the sun also afects the tides by adding its gravitation pull when alligned with the moon you have the highest tides. but you are asking about extreme tidal changes. those are usually caused by the shape and epth of the shoreline. a narrow steep bay will have ahigher tide than awide shallow bay

I would live on the sun.\nIt would be too hot during the day , so i would only stay there at night.

I personally like Tide (with a touch of Downy)\n\nGain is also pretty good.\n\nThey both leave a fresh scent and get rid of stains. I bleach my whites seperately though :-)

I would say false.  The gravitational pull of the sun would pull it to it's doom.
