Question

What is the moons role in causing tides ?

Answer 1

The gravitational pull generates this cool thing called tidal force, which kinda pushes the water to the side closest to the moon. When the tide is high, that means the moons closer to that point than somewhere else.

Two sides will always have high tide and two sides will always have low tide.

Answer 2

Tides are caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun. The moons gravitational force pulls on the water in the oceans and causes bulges that creates “high tide.”
