No. The Sun has a smaller gravitational pull because its farther away.

Why do both the sun and the moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the earth than the other?
The gravitational force depends on the distance.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes
How long does the gravitational force between the earth and the moon stretch?
The force is one that acts between the Earth and the Moon and nowhere else. But the gravitational force fields of both objects extend to infinity, reducing as 1 / distance^2.
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.
What are the forces of going to the moon?
gravitational force is the force that goes on to the moon.
What do you think would happen if the moon has greater gravitational force than the earth?
A single body doesn't have a gravitational force. The force only shows up when there are two bodies. It pulls both of them toward each other, and they both feel the same force. The force between you and the earth is called your "weight", and it holds you down. The force between the earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its orbit.
Are tides similar around the world?
Yes tides are similar around the world. The high tide is governed by the gravitational force of the moon and the sun.
What is the dominant cause of tides on earth?
Gravitational force is, between the Earth and both the sun and moon.
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
How many times the gravitational force of earth is greater than moon?
The gravitational force on Earth is six times greater than that on the moon.
