Just as the moon orbits the earth because of the earth's gravitational pull, the moon has its own gravitational pull. While it isn't enough to greatly affect the Earth's movement, it does affect the earth's oceans.
The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans causes tides. When the moon is closest to Earth, during a full or new moon, tides are generally stronger (spring tides). When the moon is at a right angle to the sun, during the first and last quarter moon phases, tides are weaker (neap tides).
The two main types of tides are spring tides and neap tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal variations.
The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
No, the planets Venus and Mars do not have a significant effect on Earth's tides. The main contributor to Earth's tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon, with the Sun also playing a role. The influence of Venus and Mars on Earth's tides is negligible compared to the influence of the Moon and the Sun.
Spring tides and neap tides
The moons gravitational pull is what make the tides high/low.

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
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line

what are the effects of tides The moon effects the tides making them either high or low tides.
The moon causes tides, but tides are not part of the climate. The moon is not particularly involved in the Earth's climate. Moonlight does not have enough energy content to make the Earth warmer.
The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.
