Best Answer

The differential gravitational fields of the sun and the moon.

(Actually all the planets have some effect ... but its all too small to be detected.)

Note that the small moon has at least 4 times the effect of the giant sun - because it's NOT the gravitational field BUT the difference in the field on the opposite sides of the Earth.
