Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
aposelenium
The point closest to the moon and the point exactly opposite it on the other side of Earth both have high tides, while the 'sides' of the Earth, in between the high tides, have low tides.Because the moon only has a force on Earth's oceans.
The moon pulls on the water AND the earth leaving the water on the far side behind.
About 356344000 meters at closest point and 405503000 at farthest point. The average is about 405516500 meters.
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.
The point in the Moon's orbit where it is furthest from the Earth is called the apogee.

apogee
Apogee is the point at which the moon is farthest from the earth where as perigee is the point at which the moon is closest to the earth.
"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
apogee
No. High tide occurs at both he points nearest the moon and farthest from it. Low tide occurs at right angles tot hose positions.
That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
The point in a body's orbit when it is farthest from its primary is apoapsis. For the specific case of a body orbiting Earth, you can also use the term apogee.
