This is one of those questions that is easy to answer but quite difficult to explain without complicated formulae.
The easy answer is gravity.
Without being too technical gravity is the attraction that keeps you stuck to the earth and keeps the earth going around the sun.
Everything that has mass has this attraction to each other. So you gravitationally attract the earth to you too!
The are two basic rules and are quite simple.
The more mass there is, that is substance, then the more attraction there is.
The farther away it is then the less attraction there is.
There are formulae for this.
So you combine these two things an you can work out how much attraction a body can exert on another.
The moon has quite a lot of mass (substance) and is quite close to the earth, so it 'pulls'.
Because water is a liquid it can move more easily than a solid and so it 'bulges' upward toward the moon on one side of the earth because it is nearer and 'bulges' downward away from the moon on the other side of the earth because it is farther away. That's why we have two tides a day.
This is a very simple explanation and there are lots of physics and numbers involved.

Why is the moon connected to the sea?
the moon gravity affects the sea
How moon buggy move on moon?
Moon buggies move around the moon using their huge wheels that have to be solid and able to move around uneven grounds. ( the moon!)
Why does the moon seem to move as you move?
Because the earth and moon moving around the Sun in their own orbits . When we move it looks the moon is moving. But moon is not moving but our motion looks like the Moon is moving.
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
Why does the flag on the moon move but there is no atmosphere?
The flag on the moon doesn't move at all because there is no atmosphere on the moon to create movement.
Where is the sea of Tranquillity?

Where is Sea of Tranquality?
Sea of Tranquililty is on the moon
What is the name of the sea on the moon?
The Sea of Tranquility.
What was the name of the sea on the moon?
The sea of tranquility
Why is there moon?
The moon is majorly important because it causes the tides of the sea. Due to the pull of gravity, the tides arise on the side of the earth because they are strongest there. The moon also causes the earth to move an inch or two during high tide.
Will a pendulum swing on the moon?
I think it will as it has mechanical parts to make the pendulum move, not 100% sure.
Do stars move as much as the moon?
Stars do not move, but the moon orbits. Stars appear to move because we are moving.
