So what roles do society, politics, and economics play in science? Economics determines how much money is available to fund scientific research. Certain federal grants come directly out of the national economy, which determines if certain research projects can continue or are cut off. Politics affect science by passing some bills that directly affects science, congressmen can determine whether those funds from the economy will be used for research or not. Just a side note: wealthy lobbyists control a lot of what politicians do, by donating millions into their election campaigns. Society affects science by our citizens democratically electing those politicians that we think will or will not endorse scientific research projects. For example, embryonic stem cell research has been under fire by conservatives for taking future babies' cells to study. Liberals, however, tend to be in favor of change and new advances scientifically

explanation:

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
