How Tides and Waves Occur | Full Moon Effects?

Tides and waves happen because Earth’s moon pulls on the ocean, like a giant invisible string.

Imagine you're playing with a bucket of water. If you gently pull the side of the bucket, the water moves toward that side, that's like how the moon pulls on the ocean. When the moon is full, it's like having two buckets pulling at the same time, one from the front and one from behind, making the tides bigger than usual.

During a full moon, the moon, Earth, and sun all line up, kind of like when you're on a seesaw with your friend. The moon's pull gets stronger because it’s working with the sun’s pull. This makes the water in the ocean go higher than usual, just like when you jump on a trampoline and go really high.

When the moon is not full, the tides are smaller, it's like when you're sitting still on the trampoline instead of jumping. The water doesn’t get as high or low, so the waves feel calmer. But during the full moon, everything gets a bit wilder, just like after a big jump!
