High tides happen when the moon is overhead, as the gravity pulls the mass of water on earth toward it. Low tides are the opposite, when the moon is below, under your feet, it is pulling the watery mass of the oceans away from your side of the planet. The shape or apparent phase of the moon has absolutely nothing to do with this effect.

Spring tides.
The time of high (and low) tide depends on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Since these are constantly changing, the time high tide occurs also changes.
Gravitational forces from both the sun and the moon continuously pull on the earth.although the moon is much smaller than the sun , the moon's gravity is the dominant force behind earth's tides
Wave is a movement in the water surface under vertical direction and is caused by wind. The stronger the wind is, so is the wave. Tide is a natural phenomenon, a regular and periodical oscillation of water. In theory, in terms of physical matter, tide is caused by the gravitational force of the moon and certainly by that of the sun as well. Neap tide is weak tide occurring when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendiculare to one another. It occurs during quarter moons. Spring tide is strong time occurring when the earth, the sun and the moon are in a line. It occurs in the full and new moon.
The main effect is on the tides, when the sun and moon are at right angles it produces neap tides. When in line it produces spring tides. Spring tides are abnormally high, neap tide are abnormally low
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
If the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low then there wouldn't be such of a high tide and probably when there is a low tide the water will be even further than a regular low tide.
The Moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
High tide
high tide
Because, when there is a high tide, there is a combination of the gravity of the sun and moon pulling on the Earths surface. When that happens, there is high tide. When there is low tide, the moon is on a 90 percent degree different part of the sun, so that area has the least gravity, which means there will be low tide.
What happens is the moon (and possibly the sun) pull the water more strong than not, causing a high tide.
water is cold so when the moon and the sun makes a tide the place with the tide would be cold.the reason that tides come is because of the gravity of the moon and the sun is pulling the water up to it.

A tide with the smallest difference between low and high tides is called a neap tide. It occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned such that the angle of the Sun and Earth is 90 degrees with respect to the angle of the Earth and the Moon. This is because the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon tend to cancel each other out at that angle.
Yes, the moon has a lot of affect on the sea'a tides. This is due to the gravitational pull. The moon has a lot more affect on the tides than the sun does. This is due to the moon being much closer to the earth than the sun.
Rise and fall of sea levels is called tide. When the sun and moon are at right angles to the earth, the sun partially contracts the pull of the moon, producing lower high tides typical of a neap tide.
