From the earliest records of explorers to modern theories, the history of tidal modeling reflects humanity's curiosity and pursuit of understanding. This thesis traces the journey of tidal science, from early explorations to modern theories. As explorers sought to understand forces shaping Earth, we extend this quest to worlds beyond our own. The recent discovery of exoplanets, with the first exoplanet orbiting a Sun-type star, Pegasi 51b, in 1995, has raised new questions about the universe around us. Since then, 5788 exoplanets have been confirmed, from gas giants and mini-Neptunes to super-Earths and rocky worlds, revealing a diversity that challenges our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. Most of them lie close to their star, making them laboratories to study and understand tidal interactions.
