Since the moon's gravity creates the ocean tides, doesn't it affect our body's fluids even at a least %?

Question

Tidal forces create the oceanic tide of Earth's oceans, where the attracting bodies are the Moon and the Sun. Since the oceans' mass is much larger than the fluids running through our bodies, is it possible that they may affect even in a tiny way our own fluids???

Tidal forces create the oceanic tide of Earth's oceans, where the attracting bodies are the Moon and the Sun. Since the oceans' mass is much larger than the fluids running through our bodies, is it possible that they may affect even in a tiny way our own fluids??? For those that DO NOT KNOW: Why do all of the planets orbit the Sun? Why do moons orbit planets?Why doesn't the Sun move off and leave the planets behind?The answer to all of these questions has to do with gravity. Gravity: force that is a property of mass. It pulls things together.We don't notice the pull from the Sun cause it also pulls on the Earth by the same amount. But the Sun's gravity is strong enough to keep the Earth from shooting Away.Although the Earth is going fast, it keeps turning to go around the Sun. Its like they were tied together with an invisible string+moons orbit many of the planets.They are kept there by gravity.The Sun itself does not sit still in space.The whole thing stays together cause of GRAVITY.

So.. most of you say that because the gravity force is too small or that the fluids are too.. tiny in mass they shouldn't be affected. So let me ask you this way. If I set a fire, which is going to be burnt easier & quicker? A leaf or a forest?? That is my question. If gravitational forces affect the oceans that are in such large mass why not affect as well the "tiny mass" of our own liquids? Have you ever thought about it that way? And I don't mean that this would make you crazy or something. But don't forget that we are an inextricable part of the universe. We are made of it, whether you like it or not. Whether you can accept it or not. All the molecules surrounding us, even the keyboards you are now pressing where made of material that once travelled in space and just settled here after a long journey.

There is not insinuation concerning metaphysics. It is plain physics. Large masses are as well attracted as tiny owns. We are all made of atoms, remember? Unless you think of yourselves as something else.. Either way my question is plain. I am not asking whether the effect is strong or not, but whether it is feasible. Is the question TOO hard to be read?? " AT A LEAST PERCENTAGE " I keep asking not how much is that percentage! According to Newton : F= G x M1 x M2 / r x r
So... I don't care how small the force is. The fact is that it exists. The electromagnetic waves produced by our brain are not enough to light a bulb. But they still DO EXIST. Got it???
Heavens...

Answer 1

Of course it does! You are 100% right.
Has nobody heard of the female oestrus-ovulation cycle?....
It works in concert with the lunar orbital cycles, which is a gravitational effect involving the moon, the sun and our planet (on which we live). How could the fluids of all life-forms NOT be under the influence of gravitaional fluctuations from a moon that drives our tides?
Ever hear of prefential dates for seed plantings, tree trimming and crop harvesting....all according to the moons orbital-gravitational cycle? (Check the Farmers' Almanac).
All liquids are more 'responsive' to gravitational effects than solids, and that's what drives the blood and sap of all of nature. (Oh, sorry, that's biology....not allowed here!)
I don't understand why we don't integrate all of our sciences into one wholistic science All nature's forces are inextricably connected......why can't we wrap our brains around that?

Answer 2

The *difference* in gravitational force from the Moon from one side of the Earth to the other is what makes the tides. That's a distance of 12000 km for the Earth, less than 2 meters for you.

The amount of gravitational pull on you from the Moon is a millionth the Earth's gravitational pull on you. I worked it out once as 980 N on me from the Earth, 0.003 N from the Moon.

Is it any wonder we don't see any effects? Unless you're looking for some sort of metaphysical nonsense, in which case you're in the wrong place...

Edit: What, exactly, are you asking? You seem unsatisified with "yes, but the gravitational effect is insignificant". Whether you like it or not, any other supposed effect is not science: it is superstition.

Answer 3

I doubt it. The fact that the mass of the ocean is so big is the REASON the moon's gravity can affect it. There is more surface space for gravity to act upon. The fluids in your body are moving at rapid rates and are confined to narrow, tight areas that are constricted and manipulated by your veins, muscles, and other surrounding cell structures. In a sense, there is no room for the moon to act. So the answer to your question is this: NO.

Answer 4

the effect is caused by gravity and gravity effects everything with a mass. So it wouldnt matter if your body was made of fairy floss it would still be effected - If you see footage of Man on the moon you will see that they do get pulled towards it. One large step for mankind etc. But the further we get from the moon the less it effects us.

Answer 5

Not even a percent! Gravity is by far the weakest force in nature. It would make more sense to forecast your future based on lightning strikes in the area around you. Lightning has way more effect on you than the moon or Jupiter would have on your bodily fluids.

Answer 6

very interesting.

I don't see why not.

but of course on a VERY VERY small scale.
and our bodies probably try to compensate.

maybe the body can keep most fluids functioning at a standard, but other fluids, say like urine and stomach elements are subject to the gravity of the moon

Answer 7

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that other masses nearer to us, like the chair I am seated on, gravitationally affect our bodily fluids more than the moon does.

Answer 8

Absolutely yes - ALL objects of mass attract each other. But as you surmised, the effect is incredibly small. At least according to some guy named Netwon.

Answer 9

I'd say yes. But it's like asking how much the ocean level drops when you get out of it all wet.
