QUANTITATIVE COMPARISONS OF GALILEO'S ERRONEOUS IDEAS ON THE TIDES

2022 International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review  
Galileo's explanations of tides in terms of Earth rotational and orbital motion around the Sun are erroneous. The actual tidal acceleration due to the differential gravitation by the Moon is calculated to be several orders of magnitude smaller than Earth's rotational, orbital or center of mass motions.
