Question

5. Tides are caused by (a) rotation of the earth (b) gravitational pull of the moon and sun towards the Earth​

Answer 1

The moon's gravity pulls the ocean toward it during high high tides. During low high tides, the Earth itself is pulled slightly toward the moon, creating high tides on the opposite side of the planet. Earth's rotation and the gravitational pull of the sun and moon create tides on our planet

Answer 2

Answer:

B part

Explanation:

Earth's rotation and the gravitational pull of the sun and moon create tides on our planet. Because the sun is so much larger than the moon (27 million times more masssive), it has a much bigger graviational pull on Earth. The sun's extreme mass, and therefore gravitational pull, is why Earth (and the other planets and celestial bodies in the solar system) orbit the star.
