Senario: You have two friends from another school that haven’t learned about gravity, like you have. They are having an intense argument about how astronauts on the moon avoid floating away into space.

• Friend 1 says the astronauts must have a cord tied to them at all times in order to avoid floating away into space.

• Friend 2 says the astronauts must always wear heavy boots to avoid floating away into space.

Directions:
Help your friends out by individually explaining why both of them are wrong. Cite specific evidence from previous sections of this task to back up your argument.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
