Sentences with phrase «as gravitational tidal forces»
One explanation is that the long fractures in the ice crust experience more stress as gravitational tidal forces push and pull on the moon and so open vents at larger distances from Jupiter.

As a result, a gravitational «tidal force» tries to stretch the object out in the direction of the hole.
A Person Falling Into A Black Hole Would Be Spaghettified If a person were able to survive long enough to describe the journey falling into a black hole, he / she would at first experience weightless as he / she goes into free fall, but then feel intense «tidal» gravitational forces as he / she gets closer to the black hole.
Synchronous rotation can occur as a result of tidal forces from gravitational interactions between two orbiting bodies (Earth's moon is an example of an object in synchronous rotation, so that we only ever see one side from the ground).
Tidal forces — so named because similar gravitational forces between the moon and the Earth cause ocean tides — increase dramatically as the distance between you and the black hole shrinks.
If a person were able to survive long enough to describe the journey falling into a black hole, he / she would at first experience weightless as he / she goes into free fall, but then feel intense «tidal» gravitational forces as he / she gets closer to the black hole.
In addition, tidal forces affecting the Oort Cloud come from the differential gravitational forces exerted by stars in the Milky Way's galactic disk and by the galactic core on the Sun and comets as a result of their relative location in the Solar System, which have been modelled with numerical simulations (Duncan et al, 1987).
As they drift along their orbits, some of their members escape the cluster, due to velocity changes in mutual closer encounters, tidal forces in the galactic gravitational field, and encounters with field stars and interstellar clouds crossing their way.
> Is not the Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth, and in turn the > tidal forces, exactly the same as the Earth's pull on the Sun...?
Hank (360), despite the equality of gravitational forces, I agree the inequality of tidal acceleration makes it extremely difficult to imagine it as having any effect on any solar cycle.
The author speculates that since it is liquid the outer core is also affected by gravitational tidal forces, in a similar manner to the oceans, but also it can be assumed that the magnetic field generating would act as a brake on its movement.
