Is it true that the Moon's gravity causes ocean tides on Earth?
Yes. NASA states directly that the Moon's gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge, creating high tides, and a 1999 educational videotape likewise says the Moon causes tides on Earth. Other items link gravity to tides only generally or analyze Earth tides without addressing ocean tides.
