Moon phases
Throughout the 28 days of the lunar month, the aspect of the moon changes. Indeed, the moon,
being spherical, is always half lightened up by the sun. As the moon rotates around the Earth, the
appearance of its lightened side changes continuously. This phenomenon creates moon phases. The
moon phase

Tides
Every 12 hours approximately, the oceans on each side of the planet rise slightly then fall back. This
movement is called tides. It is the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun and the
rotations of the earth, moon and sun. Your weather station displays the tide status
[A17]
as follows:
H:
High Tide
M:
Medium Tide
L:
Low Tide
If you have one or two additional sensors, you can place them in a different location in your house; in
a bedroom, for example. Your main unit can collect the temperature and humidity data of up to three
remote sensors.
