If you mean which of these bodies has the strongest gravitational field then the Sun wins by a very large margin. This is because the strength of a gravitational field is governed by an object's mass and the Sun is the heaviest. After that the Earth is the most massive and finally the moon.
So the order is Sun, Earth and Moon.
A neap tide happens during the quarter phase of the moon and they are weak tides. There is a very small difference between high and low tides during this time.
The force of the moon and the pull of gravity.....
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
Tides are caused by both the Sun and The Moon. Tides are the result of both Gravity and momentum. Gravity attracts objects. This causes water on the Earth to rise up on the side of Earth facing the Sun and the Moon. Momentum tries to continue in the same direction. This causes water on the opposite side from the Sun and the Moon to rise up and keep going in the direction it was going as Earth turned away in response to the Sun's and the Moon's gravity. The Earth is also rotating. This brings different areas of the surface into line with the directions of gravity and momentum. To observers on the Earth, it appears that the tides rise and fall two times each day. But actually, the Earth's rotation has carried the person into the higher or lower regions caused by gravity and momentum. Since the Moon is orbiting the Earth, and the Earth is orbiting the Sun, sometimes there is an alignment between all these things. This causes the highest tides because the tides of both Sun and Moon will join together. The lowest tides occur when the Earth is at a 90° angle between the Sun and Moon. The tides of the Moon and Sun are at that time subtracting from each other.
High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.
full
The New Moon and Full Moon phases.
The moon phase that has the highest tides is the full moon and the new moon, known as spring tides. During these phases, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun align, resulting in more significant differences between high and low tides. This effect can cause higher high tides and lower low tides compared to other moon phases.
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides
The highest tides, known as spring tides, are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon aligning with the Earth, creating a stronger combined gravitational force. When the sun and moon are in alignment during a new or full moon, the gravitational pull is strongest, resulting in higher high tides.
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.
Full moon has the biggest draw, hence the highest tides. If the moon can lift the ocean, it certainly is lifting the atmosphere thus majorly affecting weather, and it also certainly has a bit of tug on the crust of the Earth thusd having some part to play in earthquakes.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the world. It matters not what phase the moon is in. It's gravitational pull is always the same. What matters is where it is in it's orbit of the earth. The tides are lowest when the sun and moon are on the opposite side of the earth, and are highest when the 2 are on the same side.
A NEW MOON , when the Moon and Sun are pulling together in the same direction. At FULL Moon the Sun and Moon are pulling in opposite directions, so there is a counter-pull. The Spring High tides are not quite as high as at New Moon.
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
spring tides
The highest high tides, known as spring tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing gravitational forces to combine. The lowest low tides, known as neap tides, occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, leading to gravitational forces partially cancelling each other out.
