How the tides work

This video ought to explain pretty much everything.

Sorry about how I completely forgot to mention that tidal acceleration affects the entire object, not just whatever water may happen to be on its surface.

Next time I'll talk about Roche limits and thus why planets have rings and moons like Io have active volcanoes. I think I quite like planetary science. ~Georgie
