Every full moon comes the greatest recruitment.-Explain the statement.
✓
Answer
Every full moon and Amas day the sun, earth and moon come in a straight line.
So the gravitational pull of the sun as well as the moon produces larger waves of ocean water.
Every Poonam and Amas, the gravitational force of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth is moving in the same direction, so on that day there is a big tide.
On the eighth, when these forces seem to be perpendicular to each other on the earth, a small tide comes on that day.
