A model of the tide as the sun and the moon creates.

Please rate and comment, thanks.


NB: Notice how the tides get larger when the sun and the moon are on the same side of earth.

If you takes of "meta-surface water rendering" you can see that the water is spinning around the earth faster than the earth is spinning. This is because the moon drags in the water and makes it spinn around the earth
