Why are the tides produced in the sea ?

Answer Posted / sanju

The moon and sun attract the water in the sea on the surface
of the earth and this causes tides. When attraction by the
sun and the moon is in the same direction, a high tide is
produced: and when their attractions act in opposite
directions, low tide is produced.
