Our natural sattelite called the MOON. By its Latin name 'LUNA', and by its Classical Greek name ' SELENE.
The moon together with the Sun controls the tides on Earth. The Moon is the primary 'puller' of tides, and the Sun ' is a 'Secondary' puller of tides.
As New Moon the Moon and Sun are pulling together, so extremely high Spring Tides.
At Full Moon , the Moon and Sun are pulling in opposite directions, but the Moon has the stronger pull , so you still have Spring Tides, but not quite as high.
At 1st and Last Quarters , the Sun and Moon are pulling at right angles to each other, so the tides are very low and called Neap Tides.
Like a wheel balancing effect, when the Moon is on one side of the Earth you have an high tide, but the Balancing Effect means that the is also an High Tide on the opposite side of the Earth too, at the same time.
So if you live in New York, USA, the Bay of Fundy is a few hundred miles north on the Canadian Atlantic Coast. Approximately 65 degrees W. A New Moon Spring High Tide can be as much as 40 feet high. However, at the SAME time at longitude 115 degrees E, The opposite meridian, there will also be an high tide; this is the 'wheel balancing effect'.
This can then be coupled with 'Super Moons' , when the Moon is closer to the Earth, so the pull is even more stronger, thereby the tides are higher and lower again.
It is it is quite a complex and beautiful natural arrangement. !!!!!
Hope that helps!!!!
