Explain the influence of the Sun and the Moon on Earth's tides. (6)

Bess [88]

Answer:

Together, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun affect the Earth’s tides on a monthly basis.

Explanation:

Tidal Variations - The Influence of Position and Distance Together, the gravitational effects of the moon and the sun affect the Earth’s tides on a monthly basis. The elliptial orbits of the moon around the Earth and the Earth around the sun have substantial effects on the earth’s tides.
