it is high tide
it is high tide
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
There is a high tide on the side of the Earth that is opposite to the Moon. This is because of the differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity felt at different places on Earth. The water on that far side is subject to a smaller gravitational pull than the center of the Earth and is so is "left behind", forming a tidal bulge. See the "related link" below.
The changes in ocean tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. The moon actually pulls the earth away from the ocean, which cause low tide on the side of the planet where the moon is, and high tide on the opposite side.
The water on the side of the earth opposite the sun/moon also rises during high tide because not only is the water pulled by the moon and sun's gravity, but the earth itself is also pulled. This causes there to be a bulge of water on the oppposite side of the earth as well.
On Earth, ocean tides are caused by the moon. This is because the moon is pulling on the surface of the Earth and the water in the ocean which is closer to the moon is pulled upward. This upward surge causes high tide while on the opposite side of the Earth (where the moon is furthest from the water) there is a low tide.
it causes a high tide in the ocean
The tide would be higher when the moon is on the same side of Earthas the Sun is.

the opposite of low tide is high tide.
High tide is when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth giving a slight gravitational pull. Which then compresses the other two side of the earth giving you low tides...
