The moon effects Earth's ocean tide through the moon's gravitational pull, and the
moon is on a cycle having a full moon each and every month just like women's
cycle is too each and every month.
Sun is also on cycles, having more sun activity than usual such as more sun spots
"cool spots on the sun", and CME's "Coronal Mass Ejection" (think of a giant and
very hot gas bubble) of sun's hot plasma radiating towards space , and sometimes
this gas bubble hits Earth causing unknown outcomes depending on the direction
and powerfulness of the sun's CME. One CME powerful enough could and has in
the past "look up: CME Canada 1989" disrupted communications by taking out
satellites, and electricity or other electrical equipment on Earth. Not to mention an
unknown powerful CME could also temporary take away our protective layer of
atmosphere from the sun's radiation, which would be extremely dangerous
effecting every species on Earth, not just people.
***Good news is CME's is what produces those beautiful colors of the aurora borealis.
The Moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
The Moon
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.

Earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around earth. The moon is most closer to earth than the sun. Our moon is much to small to be considered a planet but does affect the earth with the tides.Another AnswerThe size of the moon does not affect its designation as a moon, rather than a planet.It has to do with its motion. Since it revolves around the earth, it is considered a moon. Also, for the designation as a planet, an object needs to not only revolve around the sun, but also clear out a swath of its orbit from other debris.
No. Earth's seasons are a product of Earth's revolution around the sun.
The fact that the Earth and Moon remain in our respective orbits and do not go hurtling into the void. That's probably the most IMPORTANT thing.As an entirely trivial side note, the gravity of the Moon and Sun contribute to the tides in the Earth's oceans.TidesAlthough the Sun and the moon have their own special affect on the Earth, the one thing they do affect together are the tides.
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
sun earth and moon
Though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is closer to Earth than the Sun. So exerts a greater gravitation effect on Earth's oceans and seas.
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
