When the sun and moon are on the same side of the Earth (new moon) or the opposite side (full moon), their bulges add together to make larger tides than usual: this is called a "springtide". When the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart (first quarter or last quarter moon), the bulges interfere and cancel each other

The Moon's Gravity Causes the waves to form.
The moons gravitational pull causes tides.
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.
The Moon affects the tides of this planet, much more than the Sun. It is the gravitational pull of those masses in space which pull the water of the oceans from the Earth and the Earth from the water. (There IS a tidal bulge on the same side as the Moon AND on the opposite side! And smaller ones towards and away from the Sun).
the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly
When the moon is farther from the earth. Tides become low because there is less pull on the oceans from the moon.
The attraction from the moon, and less from the sun, causes the waters of the world to form the tides of flood and ebb.
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.

A natural satellite the size of the moon causes tides which impact the littoral margins of the ocean. Artificial satellites have no impact on the environment.
