Why is one tide significantly higher or lower than the other?
The moon is closer to one side of the ocean than the otheransw2. The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon, Sun, and Mars; in order of their influence.When the Sun and the Moon are on the same side of the earth (New Moon) the tides are maximum.When the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the earth, (full moon) the tides will be the smallest.As far as Mars is concerned, it is only every few years that Mars comes close enough in its orbit to affect the tides. but it does.
