From @onthecoastns — The Bay of Fundy tides are truly amazing! It’s hard to imagine this happens twice a day every day. Fun fact: A lunar day (also known as a "tidal day") is the time it takes for a specific site on the Earth to rotate from an exact point under the moon to the same point under the moon. Unlike a solar day, however, a lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes. This is because the moon revolves around the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis. So, it takes
