What causes high tide and low tide? Why are there two tides each day? In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are bulges in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon. The bulge on the side of the Earth opposite the moon is caused by the moon pulling the Earth away from the water on that side. Up Next. If you are on the coast and the moon is directly overhead, you should experience a high tide.
Because of this, high and low tides are about 50 minutes later every day. The Sun Tide. The tides are caused mainly by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the earth, but there is also a gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun.The effect of the sun upon the tides is not as significant as the moons effects.t is actually the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon that cause waters of the ocean to swell and recede at different parts of the earth. The Moon Tide. The earth and the moon are two great masses that have a significant gravitational pull on each other.
