Why does the sun have an effect on tides on Earth?

The gravity of the Sun also pulls Earth's water towards it and causes its own tides. Because the sun is so far away, its pull is smaller than the Moon's. When the Sun and Moon are in line, during the new moon and the full moon, their high tides add up and create a spring tide.
