Answer:

it is the because the gravitational attraction of the moon fulls the earth as it is much smaller than earth so it can't pull it so, it pull the water of the earth.

Answer:

The earth’s gravity keeps water on the planet’s surface. However, the moon is large enough and close enough that its gravitational force has a noticeable effect on large bodies of water on Earth. Water on Earth in the region directly beneath the moon is pulled by gravitational force toward the moon, creating a bulge on the surface of the ocean. There is also a bulge on the opposite side of the earth, caused by the difference in the moon’s gravitational force across the earth. The ocean bulges on both the side of the earth facing the moon and the side opposite the moon are called tidal bulges. Earth’s land surface also bulges, as does the moon, although not to the same extent as the ocean.

Tidal bulges are very small—seemingly insignificantly small—compared to the radius of the earth. The height of the tidal bulge in the open-ocean is less than a meter in most areas. However, because the ocean is so vast, tidal bulges can raise a huge amount of water. The tide resulting from the moon’s gravitational pull is called the lunar tide.
