Use the concept of gravitational force to explain why the Moon has a stronger influence on Earth's tides than the Sun, even though the Sun is much larger.

• The Moon is closer to Earth, so its gravitational pull is stronger.

• The Sun's gravity is weaker than the Moon's.

• The Earth's rotation negates the Sun's gravitational pull.

• The Sun's gravity only affects the atmosphere.
