As long as you all are talking about solar and lunar components of tides, and tidal magnitudes at various spots, would a moonless earth have significant tides? How great a fluctuation might there be in a Bay of Fundy-type place and how great a fluctuation in areas with lesser tides, such as the coast of South Carolina? I'm getting almost completely off topic, but.... Thanks, Fred
