> Using the positions of the moon relative to a location on earth, explain why the tides alternate from low to high during a 24 hour period and why there are usually 2 high tides alternating with low tides each day. Each day there is a low tide and a high tide because
 * 1) View the top diagram above. Compare the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun to explain the differences between new moon, half moon and full moon phases. The new moon is when the earth is facing the dark side of the moon and the sun is shining on the opposite side of the moon that we can't see. Also because that the moon is in between the sun and the earth. The half moon is when the we are facing both the dark side and the the bright side of the moon. Also the sun is shining on the moon and the sun at the same time. The full moon is when is when the earth is between the moon and the sun. So we only see the bright side of the moon.
 * 2) View the example of the tide chart for the Gandy Bridge for a day. 2015 Tide Chart for Gandy Bridge
 * 1) Use the data from Gandy Bridge TidesTampa Bay Tides to create a ssheet in Open Office with the coefficient of the tides for the days in the month of October, 2015. Thencreate a line graph of the data. Indicate that the first row and first columns are labels. Be sure to label the X and Y axis, and to provide a title. Be sure to include units. (Note: On the Tide Tables there are tidal coefficients which tell us the amplitude of the tide forecast (difference in height between the consecutive high tides and low tides in any given area). The highest possible tidal coefficient is 118, corresponding to the greatest high or low tide there can be, excluding meteorological effects. Tidal coefficients are calculated from the following parameters or from the sun and the moon: straight ascension, declination, parallax and the distance between the Earth and the celestial body.)
 * 2) Save the Tide Height spreadsheet as 8 last name initial tide. Save it as an html document. Saving it as an html will convert the chart to a jpeg. Copy the spreadsheet data and paste it on your TideMoon page. Then Upload the jpeg of the chart to your page.
 * 3) View the Moon Phases October 2015 on the same Gandy Bridge Tides . Find the moon phases for the high coefficients and low coefficients on the graph. Provide an explanation for the pattern of high coefficient of tides alternating with the low coefficient of tides during the month based on the relative position of the earth, moon and sun.

 * 1) View the 3 images below. Explain for each image, the relative position of the sun, moon and earth that would result in the phase of the earth as seen in each of the photos. For each picture indicate what the corresponding phase of the moon would be when viewed from earth on the same day each of the photos of the earth was taken.
 * 2) In the first picture the phase of the is a crescent. The phase of the moon is a gibbous. The moon is in between the sun and the earth. The shadow of the moon is covering a part of the earth so it looks like a crescent.
 * 3) In the second picture the phase of the earth is a first quarter. The phase of the moon is a first quarter The moon, the earth, and the sun make a 90° . The sun is hitting the moon and the earth at the same time.
 * 4) In the third picture the phase of the earth is a gibbous. The phase of the moon is a crescent.The moon is in between the earth and the sun but the moon is slightly up
