What are solar tides?
Question:
Answer:
just a lesser form of a lunar tide, as per wikipedia.
The tide is the regular rising and falling of the ocean's surface caused by changes in gravitational forces external to the Earth. The main changing gravitational field is due to the Moon while a lesser field is caused by the Sun.
Since tides generate currents of conducting fluids within the Earth's magnetic field, they affect in return the magnetic field itself.
The loss of rotational energy of the earth, due to friction within the tides, and the gravitational effects caused by tidal deformations of the earth's body, are responsible for the slowdown of the earth's rotation and the increase of the distance to the moon, see Tidal force.
Tides caused by the sun's gravitational pull. Compare to lunar tides.

The sea level is effected by the gravitational pull of the sun. This causes the tide to be in or out. In case you're wondering their is no such thing as an actual physical Sea Level either, it's a theoretical concept.
the solar system has rays that are powerful. That is why we can get sun tans, from the heat that the sun gives.
The sun is at a time where the tides are stonger and they are reaching the sun more intensly.
Like a river has high and low tides. Well the sun is at a high tide.
hope this helps.. this is why the ice caps are melting at a fast rate. But there is no worry because all it means is that the sun is at an active time, but it will simmer down soon.
