Detailed Solution

Tidal energy arises due to gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth.
Tidal energy is a source of renewable energy. Tidal energy is the energy generated from the rising and falling of tides. It results from the combined impact of the moon's and sun's gravitational forces and the centrifugal force caused by the earth's rotation. Although the sun is far larger than the moon, the moon has a stronger attraction to the earth because the moon is significantly closer to the earth than the sun. Therefore, high tides occur during the earth's rotation in the regions closest to the moon.
