The moon pulls the water, making the tides go up and down. Imagine the ocean as a big pool of water that gets gently tugged by a giant ball in the sky, that’s the moon. When the moon is close, it pulls the water toward it, creating high tide. When it moves away, the water goes back, making low tide. It's like when you pull on a rope and let go, the water follows.
Examples
- The sea gets higher when you look at the moon at night.
- Low tide reveals hidden rocks that are usually covered by water.
