The ocean directly under the Moon bulges out when it is pulled by the Moon's gravity. The bulge on the far side of the planet is caused by the centrifugal rotation of the Earth-Moon system. (The far side is being "spun out" from the combined Earth-Moon mass as it rotates, because it is able to move away from the center of gravity.)
The solid portion of Earth's surface is also affected, but less obviously.
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
There is a high tide on the side of the Earth that is opposite to the Moon. This is because of the differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity felt at different places on Earth. The water on that far side is subject to a smaller gravitational pull than the center of the Earth and is so is "left behind", forming a tidal bulge. See the "related link" below.
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.
There are three: 1. around the Earth 2. of the illuminated side 3. of the Moon
The gravitational effect of the moon causes both the high tide and low tides. The gravity of the moon attracts water which then is attracted by the much powerful force of the earth. These gravitational forces cause low and high tides.
Nothing 'happens' - it's just on the opposite side of the earth to where you are.
This happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. The moon reflects the light of the sun, and because it is directly opposite, we can see half of it from the earth. This is the half that appears as the full moon.
A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, which happens approximately every 29.5 days. This phase is characterized by the entire illuminated side of the moon being visible from Earth.
A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in its orbit, which is known as the "opposition" phase. This means that the sun, Earth, and moon are all in a straight line, with Earth in the middle.
On the side of the Earth opposite of the moon, there is a gravitational effect known as the "tidal bulge." This is caused by the moon's gravitational pull creating a slight deformation of the Earth's shape. The water bulges on both sides of the Earth, resulting in high and low tides.
When the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, it is a full moon. This means that the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, creating a bright and round appearance in the night sky.
Venus and Mars
When it is directly opposite, it would be a Full Moon. But the Moon spends half of its orbit on the side opposite the Sun, which includes all of the Gibbous phases from First Quarter to Last Quarter.
On the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
It is weaker
an eclipse
The water on the side of the earth opposite the sun/moon also rises during high tide because not only is the water pulled by the moon and sun's gravity, but the earth itself is also pulled. This causes there to be a bulge of water on the oppposite side of the earth as well.
