That happens at new moon and full moon. In that case, the tides are stronger.

What is the effect on the tides when the gravitational force of the sun is added to that of the moon?
The sun's gravitational force basically pushes the water towards high tide.
What force causes the most obvious effect on the earth's tides?
Gravitational pull of the moon.
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
Does moon light has any effect on the tides?
Not exactly. The Moon and its gravitational force causes the tides to rise and fall as the moon moves around the Earth. Not its Light.
What is the Moon's gravitational force responsible for?
Tides.
What is the definition of tidal bulge?
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
Does the gravitational influence of Venus cause tides in the ocean?
No. The tides are caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and sun. Venus does not have any significant effect.
What is the force that is responsible for tides?
The moon's gravitational force is what causes the ocean tides to change. How Stuff Works has a great diagram and explanation of how this happens.
Is an example of the moon's gravitational force on Earth?
Low and high tides.
Is it true that tides are created by the difference between the gravitational force at Earths surface and at Earths center?
Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.
The moon travels around the earth its gravitational force pulls on water making two kinds of tides what are the two tides?
spring tides and neap tides
