What role does gravity play in the sun, Earth, and moon relationship with Earth's tides and what role does gravity play in determining the motion of the planets?
Respected Sir

Gravity plays crucial roles in both the relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affecting Earth's tides, as well as in determining the motion of planets in our solar system. Let's delve into each of these aspects:
The combined effects of gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon and the rotation of the earth which results in rising and fall of sea levels are known as Tides. The tides that take place on earth are majorly influenced by the moon but considerable tidal forces are generated by the sun. When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides both commonly called spring tides. The Sun's gravity pulls the planets in orbit around it, and some planets pull moons in orbit around them. Even spacecraft are in motion through the solar system, either in orbit around the Earth or Moon, or traveling to further worlds, because of gravitational forces. The force of gravity is what keeps planets in orbit around the sun. Gravity is an attractive force that pulls objects towards each other. In the case of the sun and the planets, the force of gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the sun. Gravity plays a critical role in determining the positions and movements of the Earth and Moon relative to the Sun. The Moon's orbit around the Earth is influenced by Earth's gravity, while the combined gravitational effects of the Earth and Moon affect the dynamics of the Moon's position with respect to the Sun. Twice a month, when the Earth, Sun, and Moon line up, their gravitational power combines to make exceptionally high tides, as spring tides, as well as very low tides where the water has been displaced.
