Not exactly. The Moon and its gravitational force causes the tides to rise and fall as the moon moves around the Earth. Not its Light.

What are the effects of a supernova on earth tides?
I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun. The tidal forces are (approximately) inversely proportional to the thirdpower of the distance, so although the Sun attracts us stronger than the Moon, the Moon has a greater influence on the tides. A far-away object should have no noticeable effect on the tides.I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun.

Does the planet Venus or Mars effect the Earth's tides?
No. The tides are caused from the gravity of the moon. Venus and Mars are too far away to make any difference to the tides
Does the gravitational influence of Venus cause tides in the ocean?
No. The tides are caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and sun. Venus does not have any significant effect.
What will hapen if there is no moon?
We would have barely any light in the night and there would be no more tides in the ocean
Does Earth cause tides on the moon?
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.

Does the gravitational pull of mars cause the rising and falling of tides on earth?
No. The rising and falling tides are caused by the gravitation pulls of the sun and the moon. Mars is too far away to have any noticeable effect on earth tides.
Do tides occur in lakes?
Most lakes are too small for the effect to be great or, if any at all. Tides are not always caused by the gravitational pull pf the moon and have no effect on small bodies of water, such as lakes. Even the Great Lakes tides are less than 5 centimeters in height
Will tides ever run out?
If you mean, "will the tides ever stop", then the answer is, "not for billions of years". The main cause for tides is the moon which is slowly moving away from Earth at about 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) every year. This will not effect us in any way.
Do blue moons have a different effect on the tides?
No more then any other full moon. A blue moon is just the second full moon in any one month. It happens about every 3 years hence the old saying once in a blue moon.
What is the moon for?
The Moon is not known to have any specific reason for being. However, along with the day-night diurnal cycle, the Moon seems to have caused biological changes in the living organisms of Earth. The major reason is the Moon's effect on tides, with actual moonlight being a secondary influence.
Why is there a high tide on the side of the moon?
There are no tides on the moon, since there is no water or liquid of any kind on its surface, to our knowledge.
