Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
The gravitational force exerted by the moon is the primary force that creates tides on Earth. The sun also contributes to tidal forces, but to a lesser extent than the moon. The interaction of these gravitational forces with Earth's rotation results in the daily patterns of tides.

-- ocean tides -- moon's orbit around the Earth
The gravitational force exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans causes tides to occur. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger than the sun's, resulting in two high tides and two low tides each day.
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon causes the tides on Earth. The moon's gravity primarily affects the tides, creating high and low tides as it orbits the Earth. The sun's gravity also plays a role, reinforcing or counteracting the effects of the moon's gravity. This gravitational interaction results in the predictable pattern of two high tides and two low tides each day.
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
Tides on Earth are mainly caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun. The gravitational pull of these celestial bodies creates bulges of water on Earth's surface, resulting in the regular rise and fall of the ocean levels.
The earth's mass and it's gravitational pull are stronger than the moon so that causes to pull the object down to the earth's center, therefore the gravity exerted by other objects are from the earth's mass.
The gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon create tidal bulges on Earth's oceans. These forces cause the water to bulge out in the direction facing the sun and moon, resulting in high tides where the bulges are and low tides where they are not. The interaction of these forces results in the phenomenon of tides as we experience them on Earth.
