What effect does this arrangement have on the tidal range?
30
The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in the same direction
The tide is smaller than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in opposite directions.
The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in opposite directions
