It depends on what effect you mean.

The sun affects the weather on Earth the most and the moon affects the tides on Earth the most.

What is neaptide?

Tides are fluctuations in the height of bodies of water due to the gravitational effect of the moon. The water is high when the moon is directly overhead or on the other side of the world and low when the moon is on the horizon. This effect can be greater or lesser depending on whether the sun's gravitational effect is added to that of the moon. At full moon and new moon, when the moon is lined up with the sun, the tidal effect is at its greatest. This is called spring tide. But at the quarters the sun's gravity counteracts that of the moon and the tidal effect is less. This is called neap tide.


What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?

The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.

What has the greatest effect on the Earth tides why?

The gravitational pull of the moon has the greatest effect on Earth tides. The moon's gravitational force causes bulges in the Earth's oceans, creating high and low tides as the Earth rotates. Other factors, such as the sun's gravity and the shape of the coastline, also play a role in affecting tides.
