Spring tides (which are a little higher than average) occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are pretty much lined up; at the new moon and the full moon. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the 1st and 3rd quarter moon phases.

High tides occur on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the side opposite the moon due to the gravitational pull of the moon. High tides also occur on a much smaller scale in some areas due to local factors like wind or the shape of the coastline.

the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being closest to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. A normal moon refers to any regular full moon that does not appear noticeably larger or brighter due to its distance from Earth.
The moon will not disappear anytime soon. It is expected to remain in orbit around Earth for billions of years.
The Summer Olympics take place every four years.
We see the moon because it reflects sunlight. The moon itself does not produce light; instead, it captures sunlight and reflects it toward Earth. The phases of the moon, such as the full moon or crescent moon, occur due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun, affecting how much of its illuminated surface we can see.
Seismic events on the moon are naturally called moonquakes, not earthquakes. They occur, but are less common and less powerful than those on Earth. The moon has no volcanoes since the magma that was under its surface long ago solidified.
It takes about 3 days to travel to the moon using current spacecraft technology.
