Why is the Moon's gravitational pulling stronger than the sun's gravitational pulling?

It depends on the distance. The only reason that the moon exerts or pulls gravity more is because that the moon is very close to the Earth, while the Sun is very far far away.

Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
What if suns gravity got stronger?
If the Sun gravity is stronger than we would get closer to the sun
Why do planets remain in orbit?
They stay in orbit because of the suns gravitational pull.
Are stars really little moons?
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
How does the suns gravitational pull affect the speed which the planets orbit?
When the pull is stronger, they move quicker.
How does the suns gravitational pull affect the speed at which planets orbit?
When the pull is stronger, they move quicker.

How many moons does the suns have?
there are about 5.3 billion suns in our solar system, each containing about 4 moons
Why do gaseous planets have moons?
They are larger, have more mass and are further from the sun, meaning that the suns gravitational influence is less dominant, so that the planet may 'catch' more moons. There are or were also more objects to catch in their area.
How many suns or moons does Saturn have?
One sun, 62 moons.
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
How many moons and suns does mercury have?
it has nun
Why doesnt the suns gravitational force affect you more than the earths gravitational force does?
Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.
What are the suns natural satellites?
there are none. the sun has no moons.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How many moons the sun got?
The sun has no moons. Moons are natural satellites of a planet. The equivalent structure for suns is planets themselves.
