Question 10

What is the time difference between two tides?

Answer

The time difference between two tides is 12 hours and 26 minutes.

This occurs because of the revolution of the Moon around the Earth in the same direction as Earth's rotation (West to East). If the Moon had remained stationary time difference between two tides would have been 24 hours.
