Why are there two tidal bulges? Gravity creates a bulge on the side of the earth facing the Moon, and centripetal force creates a bulge on the side of the Earth facing away The resultant forces of gravity and centripetal force add together and are equal on both sides of the planet The Earth spins so quickly it only appears that there are two tidal bulges The Moon and Sun create equal bulges
