the suns gravitational pull is strongest because the earth is at its closest point to the sun.
Its pull on the earth would be 25% as strong.
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
Because even though the sun's gravity is much stronger than Earth's overall, Earth's gravity is stronger on Earth's surface and in space around Earth because Earth is 93 million miles from the sun.
Even though the sun is about 1.3 million times the size of earth, the mass is only about 28 times greater. This is largely because the sun is comprised of gas (hydrogen and helium mostly). The sun actually has a gravitational force of about 28 times that of earth.
Neap tide
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
At the poles
Because the sun is 93 million miles away, whereas the earth is, well, right here!

the suns gravitational pull is strongest because the earth is at its closest point to the sun.
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
Its pull on the earth would be 25% as strong.
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.
