Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun

The moon affects the tides more than the

sun because it is closer to Earth.

The sun, moon, and Earth are in

line when a spring tide occurs.

The sun, moon, and Earth are at right

angles when a neap tide occurs.

High tides occur about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.

The movement of water caused by tides

can be turned into energy.
