Why do earth's oceans rise and fall in rise?

Earth's oceans rise and fall in tides due to the gravitational pull of the moon. As the moon orbits Earth, its gravitational pull causes bulges in the ocean water, resulting in high tides where the bulges occur and low tides in other areas. The sun also plays a role in tides, reinforcing the gravitational effects of the moon.

What are the tides and what causes them?

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on Earth. The gravitational pull of the Moon primarily causes ocean tides due to its proximity to Earth and its gravitational influence. The Sun also contributes to tides, though to a lesser extent.
