Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

Tides come from a difference in gravity across an object. The force of gravity exerted by the Moon is about 4% stronger on the side of Earth that faces toward the Moon, compared to the opposite side ...
