The moon's gravitational pull affects ocean tides, creating higher high tides and lower low tides during full and new moons.

Front

How does the alignment of the moon, Earth, and sun influence gravitational pull?

Back

When the moon is aligned with the Earth and the sun, their gravitational forces combine, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the Earth's oceans.
