The moon has a much greater effect on Earth's tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger and more massive. This is primarily due to the moon's closer proximity to Earth. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. While the sun's mass is significantly larger than the moon's, its greater distance from Earth reduces its tidal influence to about half that of the moon.
The moon.
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
hey i think its because of the solar system
The sun has less effect on the tides than the moon because it is much farther away.
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'

The moon has the strongest effect on the earths tides.

Tides are generally lower near the Equator compared to regions farther from it due to the centrifugal force resulting from the Earth's rotation. This effect causes water to bulge at the equator, meaning tides are less extreme in these areas.
what are the effects of tides The moon effects the tides making them either high or low tides.
The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth's surface water. As the moon orbits, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out toward the moon, creating high tides. This effect is more noticeable in areas closer to the moon.
it moves in and out through he moon and earths gravitatonal pull it gets stronger with the moon when it is full and less he there is a new moon :)
High tides would be smaller and low tides would be bigger, but would still occur. The cause of the tides is the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and sun. If the moon were further from the earth, its gravitational attraction would be less strong, and its effect on the earth's liquid envelope would be correspondingly less.
from where the moon is dicides o high or low tides
