> 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. The tides are different because they change during specific times of the day. But they change a lot during the morning and Afternoon hours. But the tides change twice in the Morning and in the Afternoon. The lowest coefficient is on October 5th when there is only three tides instead of the four. The coefficient is 41.But the moon is a Waining Cresent so the tides are changed. The Highest Coefficient is on October 27th. There is a Full Moon and so the tides are the same. The Coefficient is 112.
 * 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 difference is the position of each planet,star, and moon. The position is different in every phase of the moon. We can't see the new moon because it's not shown light. But we only see the one side of the moon. The phases of the moon are very different. The Moon is rotating us but we only see the one side of the moo because it is so slow that we only see the one side

 * 1) Use the data from Gandy Bridge TidesTampa Bay Tides to create a spreadsheet 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. 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.
