The water’s attraction to the moon is much smaller than that to the earth because the moon is much farther away and much smaller then the earth. The earth is also attracted to the moon but since the earth’s surface is solid it is not easily distorted, and not as dramatically effected as the water. The water, being easily distorted by the moons gravity makes the tides. The attraction of the moon causes two bulges of water on opposite sides of the earth.

The bulge on the opposite side of earth forms because, although not
