The role of tidal forces in astronomical bodies is primarily related to gravitational interactions. Tides result from the gravitational pull exerted by the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on planetary bodies. In Earth’s case, these forces cause periodic sea level rises and falls, profoundly influencing coastal ecosystems, marine life, and human activities like navigation and fishing. Tidal forces also impact the orbits and rotation of celestial bodies, playing a critical role in stabilizing their movements and contributing to the dynamic nature of our solar system.
