<p>95% (3.5 TW or 0.0069 W/m) is associated with ocean tides and 5% (0.2 TW or 0.0004 W/m) is associated with <a href="page.php?w=Earth_tides">Earth tides</a>, with 3.2 TW being due to tidal interactions with the Moon and 0.5 TW being due to tidal interactions with the Sun. Egbert & Ray (2001) confirmed that overall estimate, writing "the total amount of tidal energy dissipated in the Earth-Moon-Sun system is now well-determined. The methods of space geodesy--altimetry, satellite laser ranging, lunar laser ranging--have converged to 3.7 TW..."</p>
