Can anyone explain why the sun and moon have a gravitational pull on earth
elena55 [62]
Hey there!
There's a difference.
The Earth is influenced by the Sun's gravitational pull, and the Moon is influenced by Earth's- as it's a smaller celestial body.
This results in a formation of the Moon orbiting the Earth, while the Earth simultaneously orbits the Sun.
Hope this helps!
