Mar 29, 2021 at 22:27 comment added jez Even if the moon made the water move relative to the bottle (which it doesn’t) why would this be linked to the fullness of the moon? As far as I understand it tides are nothing to do with how much sunlight and shadow is falling on t he moon.
Mar 29, 2021 at 19:42 comment added JimmyJames There are no significant tides in the great lakes. Why that is seems to be an analogous and more interesting question. It's also one that you can find answers for on Google.

Mar 28, 2021 at 18:16 comment added David Hammen Where would the water come from to make the water rise in a bottle? Waters in the oceans rise and fall because tidal forces make the oceans waters flow from one place to another.

Mar 27, 2021 at 4:56 comment added anna v I gave the link for ou to see that also the ground changes radius with the pull of the moon (and sun), but we all go up and down with it folowing the bulk.The individual small volumes are is too small to notice it, as the answer by tom10 says.

Mar 26, 2021 at 18:30 comment added user218113 @annav thanks for the link, I can understand why ocean tides bulge but I cant understand why water in the bottle doesn't rise.
