It does. Earth is moved by the gravity of the sun and, to a lesser degree the moon. We are move by almost the same amount and so we move with Earth. Since Earth's surface is our point of reference and we are moving with it, we don't notice it. We observe the effects of the gravity of the sun and moon in the tides.

How does the moon's and sun's gravity affect the hydrosphere?
Magic
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.

Do earthquakes affect tides?
No. The tides are a product of the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
Does the Sun's gravity affect the earth's tides?
Yes, but to a much lesser extent than that of the Moon (the Moon is less massive but much closer than the Sun).
What are caused by gravity from the moon and the sun?
The fact that the Earth and Moon remain in our respective orbits and do not go hurtling into the void. That's probably the most IMPORTANT thing.As an entirely trivial side note, the gravity of the Moon and Sun contribute to the tides in the Earth's oceans.TidesAlthough the Sun and the moon have their own special affect on the Earth, the one thing they do affect together are the tides.
Does the sun have greater gravity than the moon?
The sun definitely has more gravity than the moon. Gravity is based on mass, and the sun is much more massive.
What has stronger gravity moon or the sun?
sun
Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?
Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.
How does the moon affect your weather?
water is cold so when the moon and the sun makes a tide the place with the tide would be cold.the reason that tides come is because of the gravity of the moon and the sun is pulling the water up to it.

How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
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.
Does the sun have less gravity than the moon?
No. Gravity is a function of mass, and the sun's mass is about 27,000,000 times the mass of the moon.
