Brief Explanations
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. A lunar day (the time it takes for the moon to return to the same position in the sky relative to a point on Earth) is about 24 hours and 50 minutes. During this time, most places on Earth experience two high - tides and two low - tides.
