King Tides | Full Spectrum Science–Shorts | Ron Hipschman

Most of us who live near the coast are familiar with the ebb and flow of the tides. But at certain times of the year we are treated, and sometimes terrorized, by extra high and low tides called "king tides". What causes these extraordinarily large tides? Spoiler alert - they are caused by the same things that cause all the tides - but when the Moon and Sun are in more favorable alignments and orbital positions. Tune in to find out more, and see some dramatic king tides near the Exploratorium. Open your eyes to the physics of natural phenomena with Exploratorium scientist Ron Hipschman. In this dynamic series, surprising visuals, real-time and recorded experiments, and intriguing objects illuminate wide-ranging presentations on topics such as color, time, fireworks, science fiction, and the universe. Each program is focused for general or adults-only audiences, and conversation is encouraged to help everyone find the same wavelength.
