    Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.
