The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
The moon has a greater effect because it is closer to the earth.
The moon, as it's closer to earth.
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
Yes, the moon has a lot of affect on the sea'a tides. This is due to the gravitational pull. The moon has a lot more affect on the tides than the sun does. This is due to the moon being much closer to the earth than the sun.
The sun is approximately 372 times as far from the Earth as the moon is.
The Moon
The moon affects the tides more than the sun.
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
Though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is closer to Earth than the Sun. So exerts a greater gravitation effect on Earth's oceans and seas.
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
The moon has a gravitational pull on water, which is what creates tides
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.

Yes
Mainly on the Sun. The Moon does affect the tides, though.
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
