Correct Answer: Sun and Moon on the Earth
Solution : The correct answer is Sun and Moon on the Earth.
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the sea level produced by the Moon's and Sun's gravitational influence, which occurs once or twice a day. When the earth's surface is closest to the moon, the gravitational pull is substantially stronger than the centrifugal force. As a result, the net force causes a bulge on the moon's side.
