which your talking about is a problem that many people have wondered called the three bodied problem. It's about what happens when there are three objects all pulling on each other. There are many solutions to this problem but the one that applies to the earth the sun and the moon is that the third body's gravity is insignificant. This means that the moon is not having a very big effect on the Sun or Earth.

Which celestial body has a greater effect on tidal forces on earth?

The moon has a greater effect on tidal forces on Earth compared to the sun. This is because the moon is closer to Earth and exerts a stronger gravitational pull, causing the tides to be primarily influenced by the moon's position.

Why does the moon have a greater effect on earth than the sun?

The moon does not have a greater effect on the earth than the sun, the moon effects the earth in a different way:The sun effects the earth by locking it in a gravitational orbit through the force of intertia, and effecting it's temperateness and density.The moon effects it on a closer short term basis by manipulating ocean and weather conditions.
