When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are aligned, the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon reinforce each other, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. This alignment results in spring tides, which occur during the full moon and new moon phases.

Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun.

Highest tide is when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, and the lowest tide is when the moon is on the other side of the earth from the sun.

What is the connection of the tides the moon and the earth?

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the earth. The sun has the greatest pull. The tides are greatest during a new moon when the sun and the moon are pulling from the same direction. The side of the earth that faces the sun usually has the high tide, while the side away from the sun has the low tide.
