The moon affects the currents with its gravitational pull. The
water bulges together and this is called high tide. Everywhere
else that does not have the water bulge is called low tide. the
reason why the sun has no effect on the tides is because it is
so far away. if it was closer, it would have the same affects,
but would also burn the water up. the tides depend on how
close the moon is to the earth so when the moon is full the
tide is at its highest, and when it is a new moon it is at its
lowest.
