Question

How much time passes between one high tide and the next?

Answer 1

The time between high tides (or low tides) varies depending on the location and the phase of the moon. On average, most locations experience two high tides and two low tides each day, with the time between high tides being approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes. However, this can be affected by the tides' amplitude, which is influenced by a variety of factors such as the moon's position, the sun's position, and the shape of the coastline among others.
