Answer:

It is NOT ONLY gravitational attraction. The earth casts a shadow on the moon causing the moon phases. And likewise the moon casts a shadow on the earth during a solar eclipse. A shadow meaning the object casting the shadow is between the sun and the other object. as for the tides that IS gravitational attraction. The moon pulls on the ocean to create tides
