Tides are the rising and falling of the sea‚ caused by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon. All physical objects attract each other with gravity‚ but the strength of the force depends upon the mass and distance of the objects. The shorter the distance or greater the mass‚ the stronger the gravity. Both the sun and moon have gravitational pulls on the Earth‚ but the strength of the moon’s pull is stronger than the sun’s because it is much closer to the Earth. The moon pulls the ocean water

The time between high and low tides is a little over 6 hours and the entire tidal cycle repeats itself approximately fifty minutes later each day. So if you know that low tide is at 0800 today you can estimate
