Hey Dear...
Here is Your Answer =)
_________________________________________
=> Due to the Moon's orbital prograde motion, it takes a particular point on the Earth (on average) a particular tide center takes 24hrs 52min to come under the moon but by the time there is another tide at the opposite side of the referred tide center and this happens after 12hrs 26min...
=> Factors influenced ---> The Moon's Path, Centrifugal force , Gravity...

Hey!!
Time interval between tides is 24 hrs. 52 min. .There is a tide centre. Since, earth rotates from west to east, this tide centre also shifts westwards. And the moon also revolves around the earth from west to east. And, when this tide centre complete it's one revolution the position of the moon is already ahead of it. So, in order to come under the moon this tide centre has to take one more round (in 1 round time taken = 12hrs. 26 min.). So the total time interval is 24hrs. 52min. And when it comes under moon there is another tide at the opposite side by that time.
Hope it helps a Lil bit. ❤❤
