Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Tide are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 14:15, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that the Moon and Sun do not attract water. Instead, the tides respond to the tractive force, the horizontal component of the tide generating force. Several Wikipedia articles will require editing. I belatedly answered you at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science#Wrong_explanation_and_opposite_effect_for_the_tides. — Joe Kress (talk) 00:27, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
