Yes, the Sun does influence tides, but its effect is less pronounced than that of the Moon. Both the Sun and the Moon create tidal forces due to their gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans. While the Moon's gravitational pull is stronger because it is closer to Earth, the Sun contributes to tidal variations, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides during full and new moons, known as spring tides. Conversely, during the first and third quarters of the Moon, when the Sun and Moon are at right angles relative to Earth, the tides are less pronounced, known as neap tides.
Twice a month. When the moon is directly opposite the sun and when it is in line with the sun in relation to the earth. These are called spring tides.
Yes, the tidal bore is strongest when the moon and sun are aligned on the same side of the Earth. This alignment, known as a spring tide, results in higher tidal ranges and stronger tidal currents.

Yes, Mercury has a tidal bulge because of Sun. The Sun gravitational force on Mercury's surface is more than 17 times than Moon forces Earth.
the combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produces tidal ranges.
All planets in our solar system experience tidal effects from the sun, but to a much lesser extent than the tidal effects experienced from their moons. However, Mercury's orbit is the most affected by the sun's tidal forces due to its close proximity and eccentric orbit.

Tidal Currents
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
The position of the moon & sun relative to the potion of the Earth experiencing the tidal change. The moon and sun both exert gravitational pull on the oceans.
