Does the cycles of the moon affect water evaporation? |
Question Date: 2013-10-28 | | Answer 1:
No, the cycles of the moon do not affect water
evaporation. The moon affects where the water is
on the Earth through gravity (tides), but the moon
does not, such that we know, affect evaporation,
clouds, or rainfall.
| | Answer 2:
I don't believe the cycles of the moon affect
evaporation over the ocean. The main variable that
is affecting this evaporation is how hot it is, or
how much sunlight there is in a particular region.
For example, that's why at the equator, where
sunlight is more intense, there is more
evaporation from the ocean than at the poles.
