Answer:

Moon

Explanation:

The moon's gravitational attraction is the basic tidal force. The moon's gravity attracts the ocean in its direction in times of high high tides. While at low high tides, the Earth is in the direction facing the moon, resulting in high tides on the other region of the planet.

Earth's rotation and the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon leads to tides on earth. As the sun is far bigger than the moon (27 million times more masssive), it possesses larger graviational attraction on Earth. The sun's huge mass, and its gravitational attraction, explains why Earth, the distinct planets and celestial bodies in the solar system orbit the star.

Nevertheless, tidal force's reliance on gravity can be confusing. In contrast to gravity, tidal forces are heavily reliant on distance than mass. Thus, the relatively small moon creates a higher tidal force on Earth more than the massive sun since its in proximity more—on average the moon is 384,399.9 kilometers (238,855 miles) from Earth, while the sun is 149.6 million kilometers (92.92 million miles) away.

Earth's oceans, distinct bodies of water, and to a a level land are in response to the moon by bulging and dipping as the moon moves around Earth. The sun also acts in a less significant way in times of formation of tides. Tides are observed on Earth as bulges in the ocean. When the ocean bulges in the moon direction, a high tide is formed. The high tide on the region of Earth in direction to the moon is termed the high high tide. The high tide developed by the bulge on the different region of Earth is termed the low high tide.
