The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.

What else can I help you with?

When the sun earth and moon are in a line does the pull of gravity upon the earth become stronger or weaker?

When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in alignment, the gravitational pull on the Earth from both the Sun and the Moon combines, resulting in a stronger overall gravitational effect. This alignment typically occurs during full moons and new moons, leading to higher tides known as spring tides. Thus, the gravitational pull on the Earth becomes stronger during these alignments.
