The lunar tides are generated by the movement of the Earth through the non-homogeneous gravitational field of the Moon while circling around the centre of mass of the Moon and Earth and simultaneously rotating around its own axis. This truly dynamic system is difficult to explain when the explanation is restricted to print media. Computer simulations, where these processes can be visualized directly, can be used to add value, thus opening new paths for a more distinct analysis and increased learning results.
