The tide is the periodic change in sea level that occurs due to the gravitational attraction of the Moon and the Sun on Earth. These celestial bodies generate forces that cause a deformation in the oceans, leading to the rise and fall of water along the coastlines.
The tidal cycle repeats approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes and varies depending on the geographical location.
Tides have a significant impact on marine life, navigation, and coastal activities, and they are also harnessed to generate energy through the use of tidal turbines.
