The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
