Is it the sun or moon that is directly linked to the earth's climate?

Clearly, they are both directly linked to the earth's climate, but in different ways. Without the sun there would be no climate at all that could sustain human life. The tidal movements caused by our relationship with the moon help to drive ocean currents that affect our climate, and the moon plays a major role in stabilizing our axial tilt. Perhaps I'm not getting your idea of 'directly', but these links and others are direct enough for me. We can put it this way. It might take a while for the sudden 'disappearance' of the moon to have its effect, but if we had never obtained our moon, the climate we enjoy would never have come about. Probably, neither would we.

What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
What is one influence on climate is?
The sun. Other than the sun and the moon (gravity pull of the moon create the tides) though, the options are limited. Larger celestial bodies such as asteroids can have a significant effect on earths climate, but to my knowledge this has not happened in modern times.
