→Two tides per day
:The entire earth is pulled slightly towards the moon, with the far side of the earth being pulled least, which is why there is a tide on both sides. Water, being a fluid, reacts more than the solid portions of the earth, but tidal forces affect the entire earth. Still not wording it well, am I? Oh well, that is why I am putting this on a talk page, not on the article page <grin>.[[User:Boomcoach|Boomcoach]] 12:57, 21 February 2008 (EST)

::"Water, being a fluid, reacts more than the solid portions of the earth" - are you saying that water experiences a stronger pull of gravity than solid objects? [[User:Sepura|Sepura]] 08:37, 22 February 2008 (EST)
