The sun is 320,000 times as massive as the earth, but only 400 times as far from the moon as the earth is. Therefore the force of the suns gravity on the moon should be twice as big as the earth's and the moon should go around the sun instead of around the earth so the answer is the sun.

How do ocean currents work

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

These currents are on the ocean's surface and in its depths, flowing both locally and globally. Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis effect which also influences ocean currents.
