The tides are caused by the pull of the moon travelling around the planet (and also to some extent by the sun).

The scientific terms for high tide and low tide are "high water" and "low water," respectively. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans.

Why are high tide and low tide the same?

High tide and low tide are not the same; they are opposite phases of the tidal cycle. High tide occurs when the water level reaches its maximum due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, while low tide occurs when the water level recedes to its minimum. The alternating rise and fall of sea levels is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the positions of these celestial bodies. Thus, while they are interconnected, they represent different states of the tidal cycle.
