There are many reasons of the tidal action which is a very complicated phenomenon involvin
The sun also exerts its effect on the tide, being a lit fie less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest high tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest low tide takes place.
The wind also plays an important part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of the tide. Thus these factors affect each other, either detracting or adding to the attractive forces to add or subtract from the weight of the tide. But the tides still move inexorably on, rising twice a day, getting a little later each day and posing a problem of correctly predicting their heights and lows.
Which of the following factors will not affect the time of the tide?
A.The position of the sun and the moon.
B.The mass of the moon.
C.The wind.
D.All of the above mentioned factors.
