The sun is 27M times larger than the moon and is 390 times farther away which causes the sun to have 46% of the gravitational pull that makes tides.
North of the coast of Maine in Canada, The Bay of Fundy has a very interesting funnel shape at the best position which causes it to have some of the highest tides in the world. The water in the bay can rise almost 46 feet high. It's estimated that with every tide, the bay pushes 110B tons of water with every tide.
Galileo tried to figure out what causes tides but he left the moon out of his theory. He mainly looked at the inertia of oceans and how the Earth orbits the sun. Sir Isaac Newton was the one that truly figured out this theory in 1697 which was tides are caused by the gravitational attraction. -livescience.com

Space Science Tutorial: Spring and Neap Tides

When tides occur, the Earth will have an invisible bulge symbolizing where the water is. If spring tides are occurring, the bulge on the Earth will be in a long oval-like shape. If neap tides are occurring, the bulge on the Earth will be small in a circle around the Earth.

Tides are caused by the Earth and Moon's pull on the ocean. The absolute highest tides are called spring tides, these tides have maximal difference between high and low levels. They happen when the Earth, Sun and Moon form a line. Because of the gravitational pull, when the waters get pulled on, it pulls in one direction causing the section to get high tides. These kinds of tides happen about every 2 weeks. For these kinds of tides to occur, the moon has to either be full or new. Absolute lowest tides are called neap tides. These tides have minimal difference between high and low tides. They happen when the Earth, Sun and Moon form a right angle. This kind of placement causes the Earth to pull waters in two different directions which means there isn't enough water to go around completely so the entire section experiences low tides. In order for these tides to happen, the moon has to either be a 1st or 3rd quarter. -Onegeology.org

Tides are caused by where the moon is around the Earth. There are two different kinds of tides. There are spring and neap tides. Spring tides have maximal difference between high and low tides. Neap tides have minimal difference between high and low tides.

Have you ever wondered why we have tides in our water sources? Tides in our oceans and other large water sources are causes by the moon and it's placement around the Earth.
