The moon pulls on the water AND the earth leaving the water on the far side behind.

Does the point on earth farthest from the moon has a high tide?
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
Does a low tide occur at the point on earths farthest from the moon?
The point closest to the moon and the point exactly opposite it on the other side of Earth both have high tides, while the 'sides' of the Earth, in between the high tides, have low tides.Because the moon only has a force on Earth's oceans.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the Moon were closer to the Earth, the high tides would be higher, and the low tides would be lower.
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
Why do you have high and low tides at the beach?
Due to the gravitational pull on the earth from the moon and the sun. The moon pulls the water from the earth towards it and so does the sun. Low tides are called Neap tides and are low because the pull from the sun and the moon cancel each other out (it would be much easier to explain using a diagram) High tides are spring tides and are high because the sun and the moon are alligned, creating a strong force.

Does a low tide occur at the point on earth farthest from the moon?
no...... a low tide occurs between the two high tides... :) hope this helped.... :)
What is the point of the moon orbiting the earth?
it creates high tides and low tides
How does the Moon's gravity impact the earth?
The moon's gravity creates high tides and low tides. The moon's gravity pulls the water up and down as it orbits the Earth.

What would happen to earth if it lost its moon?
High tides wouldn't be as high and low tides wouldn't be as low.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
