Great Tide Physical / Metaphysical Law in Didome | World Anvil

Great Tide

The tide caused by Novus . The tide is about 2.25 times stronger than an average Earth tide. Meaning the difference between high and low tide is typically around 4.5 meters. Although depending on costal geography the tidal range can be up to 30 meters.
  The tide moves around the planet extremely slowly. Their are two high tides one at noon and one at midnight. The low tides occur at dawn and dusk. This means that there are about 46 Earth days between high and low tides. This is so slow that the increase in sea height is barely noticeable. When the great tide is rising in the morning each high tide caused by another moon is just slightly higher than the last one, and each low tide is slightly higher than the last. Only after multiple lunar tides does it become apparent that their high tides are even higher.
