Tidal forces decrease rather quickly with increasing distance. While the moon is much less massive than the sun, it is also far closer, and therefore has a stronger tidal influence.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon have greater influence than the sun on ocean tides?
because it is more closer to earth than sun
Why does the moon have a greater effect on earth than the sun?
The moon does not have a greater effect on the earth than the sun, the moon effects the earth in a different way:The sun effects the earth by locking it in a gravitational orbit through the force of intertia, and effecting it's temperateness and density.The moon effects it on a closer short term basis by manipulating ocean and weather conditions.
Why is the gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth greater than the attraction of Earth to Sun?
The gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth is greater than that of Earth to the Sun because the gravitational force depends on both the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is to Earth, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull despite the Sun's much larger mass. The inverse-square law of gravitation means that even a small mass can exert a significant force if it is near enough. Therefore, the proximity of the Moon enhances its gravitational influence on Earth compared to the more distant Sun.
By exerting the same force Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth Why?
Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that Steve feels less gravitational pull on the Moon, allowing him to exert the same force and achieve a greater acceleration and thus jump higher.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Why does the moon have a greater influence on earths tides than the sun does?
Fancy boy
What objects on earth exert a greater gravational pull than your whole body?
The Earth itself exerts a greater gravitational pull on objects than an individual's body, as well as massive celestial bodies like the Sun and the Moon. Additionally, large rocks or structures with significant mass can also exert a greater gravitational pull due to their mass.

The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
Explain why the gravitional pull of the moon is greater than the pull of the sun?
The moon is closer. Gravitational pull decreases as the fourth power of the distance so even though the Sun is greatly more massive than the Moon, it distance is 400 times the distance to the Moon and it is not massive enough to exert as large a gravitational pull.
Why is the gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth greater than the attraction of Earth to Sun?
The gravitational attraction of the Moon to Earth is greater than that of Earth to the Sun because the gravitational force depends on both the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
Earth's volume is how many times greater than the Moon's?
The volume of the Earth is 50 times greater than the volume of the Moon.
Why is weight of objects different on the moon than on the earth?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
