Which pulls with greater force on the earth's oceans the sun or the moon?
The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon.

What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?
Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).
What are ocean currents made by?
Earth's Rotation (Coreolis Effect (spelling?)), Heat from the sun, gravity from the sun and moon.
Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?
Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
Which has a greater effect on the tide the sun or moon?
The moon - because its closer - and therefore the gravity field across the Earth is more different.
Does the sun have less gravity than the earth and moon?
No. The sun's gravity is much stronger than that of Earth or the moon. However, its effect on the tides is less than that of the moon because it is much farther away. Tidal forces diminish with distance more quickly than the force exerted by gravity.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
How does the moon infleunce the earth?
The moon influences the Earth by pulling the Earth towards it. This effect produces about 1 m rise of the oceans on one side of the Earth (the side closest to the moon). This causes the tides and when in line with the Sun both gravity from the Sun and the moon effect the Earth adding up and causing a much larger pull which causes the high tides.
How does earth sun and moon interact each other?
The Earth, Sun, and Moon interact through gravitational forces. The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth in orbit around it, and the Moon orbits the Earth due to Earth's gravity. The Moon's gravitational pull causes tides on Earth.
Why does the Moon have a greater influence on Earth's tides than the Sun does?
Fancy boy
