The 39 pages that link to Tidal force, each with the reason it gives.

• TidesRelated: The Moon’s changing gravitational pull across Earth helps produce tidal bulges.

• Newton's law of universal gravitationRelated: The law's distance dependence explains why the Moon raises tides across Earth.

• Celestial mechanicsRelated: Celestial interactions produce tides that affect moons, planets, and orbital evolution.

• Continental driftRelated: Harold Jeffreys showed these forces could not move continents against rock strength.

• Equivalence principleCompared with: Tidal effects reveal spacetime curvature and cannot be transformed away across an extended region.

• Andromeda GalaxyRelated: Tidal forces from Andromeda and its satellites reshape their stellar streams and outer halos.

• Tidal lockingNarrower topic: The companion's uneven pull raises the deformations that exert locking torques.

• Solar SystemRelated: Tides heat moons, synchronize rotations, and transfer orbital energy between bodies.

• Roche limitRelated: The larger body's force varies across the smaller body, producing the stress that can disrupt it.

• Tidal currentRelated: The Moon’s and Sun’s differential gravity drives the tides that generate these currents.

• Tidal heatingNarrower topic: This gravitational gradient supplies the stress that deforms a tidally heated body.

• WeightRelated: Nonuniform gravity means different parts of an extended body need not experience identical gravitational forces.

• Gravitational fieldRelated: Spatial variation in the field produces tides and stretches orbiting bodies.

• Gravitational forceRelated: Spatial variation in gravity stretches and compresses planets, oceans, and orbiting objects.

• Tidal interactionNarrower topic: This underlying force creates the distortions that define a tidal interaction.

• Hill sphereRelated: Tidal effects help determine where a larger body's pull disrupts satellite orbits near the Hill boundary.

• MicrogravityRelated: Unequal gravity across a spacecraft prevents perfect microgravity.

• Tidal strippingNarrower topic: The difference in gravitational pull across an object supplies the force that strips its material.

• Gravitational perturbationCompared with: Tidal forces describe spatial variation in gravity, while orbital perturbation describes its effect on motion.

• Orbital perturbationRelated: Tidal interactions can exchange energy and angular momentum, changing orbital evolution.

• Tidal disruptionNarrower topic: This differential pull supplies the stress that can overwhelm an object's cohesion.

• Galaxy interactionRelated: Uneven gravity across each galaxy pulls stars and gas into extended tidal features.

• Stellar associationRelated: Galactic tides further alter the shape and motions of a loose association.

• Tidal tailNarrower topic: Differences in gravity across a galaxy pull its stars and gas into a tail.

• Synchronous rotationNarrower topic: Differential gravity raises the distortions that exert torques on a rotating body.

• Tidal accelerationNarrower topic: The uneven gravity that deforms bodies and creates the torques behind orbital change.

• Full moonRelated: Full and new moons align solar and lunar tidal effects, producing spring tides.

• Artificial gravityCompared with: Unlike a uniform local imitation, tidal effects vary across a body or habitat.

• Galactic tideNarrower topic: Galactic tide is the large-scale astronomical instance of this general gravitational effect.

• Gravitationally bound systemRelated: Internal tidal stresses help determine which structures survive inside a bound system.

• Whirlpool GalaxyBroader topic: Uneven gravity during the encounter stretches the Whirlpool’s disk and disturbs its gas.

• Messier 51Related: Uneven gravity from NGC 5195 draws out features in the Whirlpool system.

• Ring galaxyRelated: Tidal forces reshape disks during encounters and help determine the resulting ring structure.

• SupermoonRelated: The Moon’s close approach slightly strengthens its contribution to tides.

• Andromeda–Milky Way collisionRelated: Uneven gravity during a close passage can stretch, distort, and rearrange both galaxies.

• Interacting galaxyNarrower topic: Differential gravity stretches interacting galaxies and pulls out their tails.

• Immanuel VelikovskyRelated: Critics used tidal calculations to test the destructive encounters Velikovsky proposed.

• Interactions and forcesBroader topic: It reveals how gravity acts differently across objects of finite size.

• Theory of tidesRelated: The Moon’s gravity varies across Earth, creating the force that drives tidal deformation.
