The answer option that most accurately describes what affects Earth's ocean tides is: B. The Sun and Moon, but the Moon impacts Earth's tides more because it is closer in distance to the Earth.
A tide can be defined as the rise and fall of water level in water bodies such as lakes and oceans, especially due to the combined effects of the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the Moon and Sun on planet Earth.
Hence, an ocean tide describes the episodic changes in the height of the surface of an ocean as a result of the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the Moon and Sun on planet Earth.
In conclusion, the Earth's ocean tides is largely affected by the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the Moon than that of the Sun because the Moon is <u>closer</u> in distance to the Earth (approximately 400,000 kilometers).
