You know how gravity pulls things to the
earth's surface and keeps things on the
ground? Well, the moon also has some
gravity – not as much as the earth, but the
moon has enough gravitational pull to
actually pull the earth's waters toward it.
As the earth turns and the moon travels
around the earth, the waters of the earth
bulge out toward the moon, raising the water
level at that location. On the side of the earth
opposite where the moon is pulling, the
water also bulges out due to a lack of pull.
When one of the "bulges" reaches a
shoreline, a high tide occurs there. Where
the water is not "bulging," a low tide occurs.
The sun's gravity also pulls on the earth's
oceans and has some impact on the tides.
However, the sun is much farther away than
the moon, and its pull is less.
