The moon's gravitational pull creates tides in Earth's oceans. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it causes high tides. When it is at a right angle to the Earth and the sun, it causes lower tides. This gravitational interaction results in the regular rise and fall of ocean waters.

The moon gravitational pull causes our high and low tides. Sailors and fisherman noticed centuries ago that the tides follow the moon.
