What Influences of the sun and moon on tides?

Answer 1

the sun's gravity influnces tides by either pulling or pushing up or down the water. This creates tides. the sun influences spring and neap tides by the moon phases.

Answer 2

A2. High tides are caused by the force of Earth's gravity lessening, thus the sea water piles up. This lessening is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. And to a lesser extent by the Sun, and even lesser again, by the other planets.

When the Sun and the Moon are in Alignment we experience a New Moon, and this high tide will be the highest.

And when the Sun and the Moon are in Opposition, their gravitational attractions tend to cancel out a little, but that from the Moon is still the strongest, so there is a high tide, but lower than the one at New moon. This is at Full Moon.

Thus the effective centroid of gravity on the earth moves around slightly, pulled a little by the gravitational force of the Moon, and a lesser amount by the Sun.

The picture on the ground is a little modified by the tidal flow in the oceans, and some parts of the world (north of Australia for example) where the tidal flow from the Pacific and the Indian oceans can aid each other or conflict, and such a region can have more than two high tides per day.

Answer 3

The sun's gravity pulls the water in a certain direction toward it.

Answer 4

A spring tide occurs when the sun, earth, and moon are lined up
