Answer:
The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.
Explanation:
The Moon has a greater effect on earth's tides than the sun because the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun. ... Where the water doesn't bulge is low tide.
