The gravitational pull of the moon affects the water on Earth, creating high tides on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side. This is due to the difference in gravitational force across the Earth, resulting in areas experiencing high and low tides depending on the position of the moon relative to Earth.
The moon needs to be in line with the sun, creating a syzygy, for a spring tide to occur. A syzygy happens during a full moon and new moon when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon combine to produce higher high tides and lower low tides.
It varies depending the the position of the moon in its orbit.
The position of the moon Callisto is its one of Jupiter moon and its next to Jupiter
At full moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun, from our (Earth's) point of view.
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
the moon in on the horizon =)

Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.

No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
The relation is that the moon has gravitational force that attracts the water up which makes a High Tide starting to form. A low tide occurs when the position of the moon isn't that clearly above the water. That's why planes or ships, etc.. Get forced in the Bermudas Triangle because of the moon position is always fixed there.
A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.
h = (3 * Mass of Moon * Radius of Earth^4)/(2 * Mass of Earth * Distance from Equator to Moon^3)
