I read that it effect all mass and large bodies of water, and liquid mantle. it’s just more noticeable on oceans. What about the atmosphere ? It has some mass hasn’t it ?

Yes but it’s real subtle. The atmosphere has mass just like the oceans and will get pulled by the moon’s gravity. However, we live at the bottom of about a hundred miles deep ocean of air so the effect on us is very faint. Unlike the ocean tides where we can see and define the surface of the ocean, the atmosphere fades out gradually so we can’t mark the top of the atmosphere without scientific instruments and a lot of math.
