For lunar tides to occur in the human body

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lunar tides occur due to the differential gravitational force from the Moon's gravity on different parts of the Earth's oceans. Similarly, for lunar tides to occur in the human body, parts of the body would have to be appreciably closer to the Moon than other parts. This is because the gravitational force between two objects decreases with distance, so the Moon's gravitational force would be stronger on the parts of the human body that are closer to the Moon. Most of the human body is in solid or semi-solid form, so option A is incorrect. Earth's gravitational force doesn't play a role in lunar tides occurring in the human body, so option B is also incorrect.
