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.

Earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around earth. The moon is most closer to earth than the sun. Our moon is much to small to be considered a planet but does affect the earth with the tides.Another AnswerThe size of the moon does not affect its designation as a moon, rather than a planet.It has to do with its motion. Since it revolves around the earth, it is considered a moon. Also, for the designation as a planet, an object needs to not only revolve around the sun, but also clear out a swath of its orbit from other debris.

What are caused by gravity from the moon and the sun?
The fact that the Earth and Moon remain in our respective orbits and do not go hurtling into the void. That's probably the most IMPORTANT thing.As an entirely trivial side note, the gravity of the Moon and Sun contribute to the tides in the Earth's oceans.TidesAlthough the Sun and the moon have their own special affect on the Earth, the one thing they do affect together are the tides.
