The moon causes tides through pull of it's?

Answer 1

The Moon effects the tides by pulling at the water (like a magnet competing with another magnet which is the Earth in this case). The Earth's gravitational pull prevents the moon from pulling land (but not as well in terms of the water) which produces a total of two high and low tides a day by the Moon's position in the Sky causing a 'Bulging' effect which creates high tides on one side of the planet and low tides on the other. Also there are special tides which effects the Earth's water and these are called "Spring" and "Neap" tides. The Spring tides only occur when the Moon is full or New and also aligned with the Sun and Earth which produce very High tides and very Low tides (again depending on the position of the Moon at the time). The Neap tides are occurs when the gravitational pulls of both the Sun and the Moon (when it's in the quarter phase) are 'perpendicualr' (which means at right angles to each other), which cancels out this 'bulging' effect thus producing minimal differences between the tides on either side of the planet. There is also a very rare type of tide called the Proxigean Spring tide which occurs when the Moon is unusually close to Earth (This event is called Proxigee) in it's 'New Phase' and between the Sun and the Earth which causes very high tides to form. This phenomenom occurs every 1.5 years (at most).

Answer 2

Gravity is a force that extends out into space forever, propagating at the speed of light and becoming less powerful in proportion to the square of the distance from the center of the object which generates the gravitational field in question. So mostly, the gravity of the moon holds the moon itself together, and, in combination with the Earth's gravitational field holds the moon in orbit around the Earth; it causes tides on the Earth (meaning it pulls on the Earth's oceans) and it also is involved in the orbit of the Earth-moon system around the sun; now and then we send satellites to orbit the moon and the moon's gravity pulls on those, too. The moon contributes something (not very much) to the total gravitational field of the Milky Way galaxy and thus pulls on various satellite galaxies such as the Lesser and Greater Magellanic Clouds.

Answer 3

The moon's gravity pulls on the oceans, creating a tidal bulge on the side of Earth facing the moon and on the side opposite it. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet move through these bulges, leading to high and low tides.
