FUThe gravitational pull of the moon affects the Earth’s oceans, causing the phenomenon known as tides. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force pulls on the water, creating bulges in the ocean’s surface. These bulges result in high tides where the water level is elevated, and low tides where the water level decreases. The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth also influences the intensity of tides, leading to variations like spring tides (maximum tidal range) and neap tides (minimum tidal range). Overall, the moon’s gravitational effect on ocean water creates a rhythmic pattern of tides that play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems and navigation.

PEThe ocean rises and falls every day.
not because of wind, but because of the Moon. 🌙🌊
Gravity is quietly moving our planet’s water.

AS🌕 The Moon does rotate!!!!..... we just don’t notice it.
The reason we always see the same face isn’t because the Moon is standing still. It’s because of tidal locking. 🌊
The Moon takes 27.3 days to rotate once on its axis…
and 27.3 days to orbit Earth.
Because those two motions are perfectly synchronized, the same hemisphere always faces us.
Think of it like walking in a circle around a chair while always facing the center. You’re turning as you move, but the same side of you always faces the chair.
Early in the Moon’s history, Earth’s gravity created tidal bulges that slowly adjusted its rotation until it matched its orbit.
We can’t actually see exactly half the Moon from Earth, either slight orbital shifts called libration let us glimpse about 59% of its surface over time.
The true far side wasn’t seen until 1959, when Luna 3 photographed it for the first time.
The Moon rotates.
It’s just perfectly synchronized with its orbit. 🌕

COEarth is, at its core, predominantly iron - roughly 47% of the planet's composition. The moon, by contrast, contains almost none. That discrepancy points directly to the leading theory of lunar formation. Something hit Earth with enough force to eject that volume of material into orbit, where it gradually coalesced into the moon we have today.
However, that first impact left Earth spinning at a rate incompatible with the conditions needed for life. What followed, according to the Double Big Whack theory, was a second impact - arriving from exactly the right direction, at exactly the right speed, hitting exactly the right point on Earth's surface to slow its rotation down to its current dynamics.
Two massive impacts, both precisely calibrated, billions of years apart. Ben doesn't labour the point - but the implication is there. The margin for error on either strike was essentially zero. And yet here we are.

THDid you know?👨🚀 High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon’s gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Are Tides Higher During The Full Moon?
Prepare to have your minds blown with this post. Let's go for a ride
The tides aren't really "higher during full moon" in the way pop explanations often imply — they're dramatically amplified in range (higher highs + lower lows) during both full moons and new moons. The full moon just happens to be the visually spectacular version of the same geometry.
Today I strip away the textbook diagram of "Moon pulls water toward it + fake bulge on the other side" and look at what actually makes the phenomenon mind-blowing when you zoom out.
In this video Neil deGrasse Tyson nails this topic repeatedly in his explanations (from StarTalk episodes to quick clips and posts)—and it aligns perfectly with the deeper view I'm going to talk about. He consistently debunks the romantic/magical notion that the full moon itself has some extra gravitational mojo.
He also loves flipping the everyday perception: tides aren't the water "coming in and out" toward the Moon; Earth is spinning underneath fixed tidal bulges (one toward the Moon, one away), so we rotate into and out of them twice a day. His take strips away the cliché mysticism while keeping the awe: the full moon is just the flashy billboard advertising when the Sun is teaming up most effectively with the Moon to stretch Earth's oceans hardest.
Steven Franz dwells on one of those topics where the more you peel back the layers, the more cosmic poetry (and physics) you uncover.
1. Tides are mostly a stretching field, not a pull
The Moon (and Sun) don't simply "suck" ocean water toward themselves.
What creates tides is the differential gravitational acceleration across Earth's diameter — the tidal force field ~ scales as ~ 1/d³ (distance cubed).
Near side of Earth → stronger pull → acceleration toward Moon
Center of Earth → average pull
Far side → weaker pull → acceleration away from Moon (because the whole planet is being pulled more strongly than the far side water)
This differential stretches the planet into a very slightly prolate (football-shaped) figure.

EATidal patterns worldwide shifted to rhythms that didn't match lunar cycles, oceans rising and falling according to schedules that suggested external gravitational influence. Oceanographers calculated the force required to alter global tides and arrived at masses equivalent to additional moons, yet astronomical surveys detected nothing in Earth's orbit. The anomaly originated from the impact crater, gravity waves propagating through seawater like ripples from a stone, but amplifying rather than diminishing with distance. Coastal communities experienced tides that peaked at midnight regardless of moon phase, water levels rising in darkness and receding at dawn as if responding to circadian rhythms rather than celestial mechanics. The displaced water had to go somewhere--physicists detected it accumulating in the vortex above the crater, a column of ocean suspended against gravity, climbing toward stratosphere in defiance of every law that governed fluid behavior. The water column rotated, generating electromagnetic fields through ionic currents, transforming the Pacific into a planetary-scale dynamo that broadcast power across frequencies that instruments struggled to measure.
