Question

How would tides be affected if the distance between Earth and moon were halved?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the moon were half its mass, then the ocean tides would have been correspondingly smaller and imparted less energy to it. ... So a less massive moon would nonetheless end up closer than the real one to Earth. The energy given to the moon comes from Earth's rotation—and to compensate, our planet is slowing down
