Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun and has a greater gravitational pull on Earth, providing the largest tide-generating force. This force is responsible for the daily rise and fall of sea level, known as tides. The Sun also has an effect on tides, but its gravitational pull is weaker than that of the Moon.
