Why do we have tides here on Earth?

• We have tides because of how the moon's gravity pulls on different parts of the Earth.
• We have tides because the Earth's oceans move.
• We have tides only because of the sun's gravity pulling on Earth.
• We have tides because of how the Earth revolves around the sun.

Which set of objects has the greatest force of gravity between them?

• The bottom pair because the spheres have a greater mass.
• The bottom pair because the spheres are closer together.
