The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves.

The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.

How does the moon position affect the tides of earths ocean?

Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
