Question:-

How are the Sun and Moon similar and different in regards to their effect on the ocean tides¿?

Answer:

The Sun causes tides just like the moon does, although they are somewhat smaller. When the earth, moon, and Sun line up—which happens at times of full moon or new moon—the lunar and solar tides reinforce each other, leading to more extreme tides, called spring tides

Explanation:

Although the sun and moon both exert gravitational force on the Earth, the moon's pull is stronger because the moon is much closer to the Earth than the sun is. The moon's ability to raise tides on the Earth is an example of a tidal force. The moon exerts a tidal force on the whole planet.
